An Indiana man pleaded guilty to aggravated battery after admitting he poisoned his wife. And the story behind that is… even more shocking.

According to newly revealed court documents accessed by USA Today and other outlets, 71-year-old Alfred Ruf (pictured above) pled guilty to aggravated battery during a court hearing in Richmond, Indiana back in July. Then, on Monday of this week, he was sentenced to four years in prison and five more years of probation.

According to prosecutors, the whole thing came about after Ruf got the idea to kill his longtime wife… so that he could marry his stepdaughter!

Per multiple outlets, Ruf told cops that he began “spiking” his wife’s drinks in January 2022. The substance he used, which authorities later determined to contain cocaine, MDMA, and benzodiazepines, was first given to him by his stepdaughter — the woman’s very own daughter.

The whole plot came undone when the wife began to suspect she was being drugged. She went to the cops with a pill bottle she found in her house that contained an unknown powdery substance with an “off-white residue.” They tested it, and also her blood and urine, and all samples came back with those three drugs. She denied ever using drugs herself — and so, the investigation was on.

The whole thing began to unravel rather quickly after that. When questioned, Ruf admitted he had been poisoning his wife in a wild bid to get with her daughter from a previous marriage. Ruf’s defense attorney told USA Today:

“Once the state changed the nature of the offense, he took responsibility for what he did wrong. That’s the appropriate thing to do.”

Uh… sure… better late than never, we suppose.

The motive for Ruf’s poisoning attempt is even crazier. Per prosecutors, Ruf admitted to being sexually involved with his stepdaughter, who is — thankfully — an adult at 31 years old. She was the one who gave him the pill bottle, he claimed, and she ordered him to put the substance in her mother’s Coca-Cola. But the stepdaughter has not been charged in connection with the crimes.

As for the reasoning behind it, prosecutors said Ruf and the stepdaughter, who has not been named publicly, were having sex — and were even keen on getting married after his wife was out of the picture. At various times, the stepdaughter — as well as an unidentified friend of hers — would call Ruf and ask him to come sprinkle the poison into the Coke cans. At that point, according to a police affidavit, all hell would break loose:

“Alfred would then sprinkle some of the white powder in (his wife’s) Coca-Cola can and then wait for her to fall asleep. [The two women] would then come to Alfred’s residence and put more of an unknown substance in (Ruf’s wife’s) drink and have her drink it.”

Then, with his wife knocked out cold — Ruf told cops she would usually be unconscious for 12-13 hours — the daughter and her friend would put on a “show” for the old man. Per court docs, the two younger women would wear the wife’s lingerie and perform “sex acts on each other” for Ruf to watch.

WTF?!?!?!

Ruf would pay the women for the sex acts, per cops. And to top it all off, the two women allegedly stole some of the unconscious wife’s personal items during those sex sessions, as well. Per the affidavit, the stepdaughter in question wanted to “get mom out of the picture” after first learning that Ruf and his wife were planning on selling their home. (Seems like we’ve been hearing a lot of unsettling news in that realm lately…) The stepdaughter was also apparently interested in a life insurance policy that was in place for her mother.

Ruf’s stepdaughter kept telling him they would get married after they “took care” of his wife, per court docs. So yes, Ruf did realize his wife would eventually die from the persistent powerful drug cocktails. In the end, he told interrogators he “felt bad” about what was going on and decided to come clean. Now he’s facing the prospect of spending some time in prison on these horrific charges.

The post Indiana Man Poisoned Wife's Soda For MONTHS -- To Have Crazy Orgies With His Stepdaughter! appeared first on Perez Hilton.

This was already a horrifying story — and after this influencer brought the receipts, it only got more scary!

Eixchel Berroteran, AKA Eixchelb on TikTok, shocked her fans when she posted a carousel of graphic photos to her Instagram. The pics, which featured some serious injuries and bloodshed, were only the tip of the iceberg for this story. In the caption, the social media star alleged that her stepfather tried to kill her. Whoa!

Related: Man Allegedly Tried To Have Wife Killed — And It All Ended With HIS Death As Cops Closed In!

While recalling the event she says took place just last Thursday, she explained (in her native Spanish):

“On the night of August 21, 2024 I was reborn, my ex stepdad (who didn’t live in my house) walked in with a gun saying he was going to kill me and said it was according to him, because ‘I didn’t want him and my mom to be together.'”

The viral star, who has amassed over 4.3 million followers TikTok, went on to detail just what she says happened. She wrote:

“It was all like this, I wait for my mom at the door of the apartment and he entered my house without permission and saying he was going to kill me, He pulled out a gun pointing at my mom and saying he was going to kill me. He pushed her in the living room and entered my room. He pointed the gun at me, I jumped to the floor asking him to please do nothing, intending to get under the bed, but it was very low and I decided to crawl towards him asking him to stop screaming and at that moment I heard the shot left me stunned; but my mom who was already behind him forcing him so the shot didn’t reach me.”

OMG! So, according to her, he just barged in and started attacking?! So scary…

Eixchel continued to say the bullet missed her by mere centimeters — and credited divine intervention for keeping her safe:

“That night… the worst of my entire Life, God gave me another chance. When missing the shot by CENTIMETERS… I was stunned, in shock and with fear to think that those would be my last moments of life; at that moment God gave me the strength to stand and defend myself with my mom.”

She added that her stepfather “bit” her mother as they struggled. In a heroic turn of events, the influencer alleged she and her mom fought back and took control of the situation:

“The love we have for each other gave us the strength to control the situation, we arrived by force into the kitchen where we fell, my mom and I stayed on top of it, trying to defend ourselves as we could. He bit my mom and pulled my hair with a lot of force, we both cried for help but until that moment no one listened, he kept insisting on shooting me and between the two we grabbed above him his hand where he held the gun and always wanted to point at me, one person touched the door but he made us tell him to leave.”

He’s even being accused of intimidation, allegedly telling the women not to go to police or else their would be consequences:

“He threatened us saying that if we called the police it would all be over, he also said that he had contacts in the police and that if we reported… he had bully friends and this wasn’t going to stay like this.”

SO disturbing. Just truly awful.

Eixchel went on to say she doesn’t know how she’ll ever “overcome this nightmare” because her trauma is much more than “physical injuries”:

“God interceded for us that night, I can only say thank you for another chance. In my mind, it was just that if it was going to kill me… my mom was going to have that trauma forever and if I killed my mom I was never going to be able to handle it. Today I can tell you that trauma hurts more than physical injuries, and that I really don’t know how I will ever overcome this nightmare. No one deserves to live what me and my mom lived and don’t ever think this is something that can happen to you.. until it’s happening. I ask you to pray a lot for us and that justice is served. On my part I promise you that when I manage to heal even just a little.. i will become the voice of all the people who have been victims of abuse, abuse and in this case.. almost murdered.”

Heartbreaking, but how noble to dedicate herself into becoming a voice for victims after this experience. That takes so much strength.

Eixchel wrapped up her post by saying she can’t give much more info because it is an open investigation, but she hopes God can give her “the strength to move on”:

“At this time, it’s a Criminal Investigation case so I won’t be able to give specific details. There are no words to describe the terror, pain, trauma, anxiety and panic attacks this has caused us.. Only God knows why I’m still here and I ask him to give me the strength to move on and that at some point he can heal my heart.”

You can see the full post and the pictures, but be warned they are GRAPHIC. Ch-ch-check it out (below):

Gut-wrenching. Those poor, poor women.

Eixchel’s stepfather was arrested and charged with attempted murder, two counts of burglary with assault or battery, false imprisonment with a deadly weapon, aggravated assault with a firearm, attempted evidence tampering, and felony battery. The probable cause arrest affidavit, as obtained by Law&Crime, reveals the mother’s side of the story which matches Eixchel’s. It also included the disturbing details of how Luis bit his wife all over her body while she attempted to fight him off with a wine bottle. The influencer’s photos show one of those awful bite marks.

Per local outlet WPLG, eventually the women were able to get him to calm down and talk, but police said the suspect “kept a hold of [Eixchel] by the hair while sitting on the couch, not allowing her to exit” the place. He’s also alleged to have made the mom and daughter “clean up the scene” where he’d just allegedly battered them. Disgusting.

The ladies said it took an entire day to work up the courage to contact police after Luis allegedly threatened the two of them with hitmen. Luckily for the TikToker and her mother, though, the stepdad is being held in prison without bond.

Just horrifying. We’re so glad Eixchel and her mother survived. May they get the justice they deserve.

According to footage posted on social media, the 30-year-old country singer was performing the track It Matters To Her during a show at the Colorado State Fair on Saturday. However, he stopped in the middle of the song and called out a male audience member when he apparently saw the guy hit a woman! OMG! While pointing out into the crowd, Scotty shouted:

“Hey! Right here, right here. That’s a lady you just hit, sir. Absolutely not, you just hit the lady.”

The American Idol alum immediately asked for event police and security to take the man out of the venue, saying:

“Get the heck out of here. On God’s green Earth, at a Scotty McCreery show? What are you doing? Y’all let the cops know who hit the lady ‘cause that’s absolutely unacceptable. Whoever you are, that’s the definition of a coward, hitting a lady. Get the heck out of here.”

Crew members went on to shine spotlights into the front of the crowd to help officials locate the guy. Eventually, the man was removed from the area, and the concert continued. Scotty told the audience before playing again:

“Well, if we’re all set, let’s get on back to the show.”

We’re glad Scotty came to that fan’s aid. No one should ever get attacked like that on what should be a fun night out enjoying music. Watch a clip of the incident (below):

Damn!!

The post Country Singer Scotty McCreery Kicks Out Male Concertgoer After He Hit A Woman During Colorado Show! appeared first on Perez Hilton.

A New York man brutally murdered all three of his siblings and his niece after a disagreement about what to do with their late mother’s home.

A sibling meeting turned deadly over the weekend after the five of them met up at their late mother’s Syosset home out on New York’s Long Island to discuss what to do with the property after her death earlier this month. According to the Nassau County Police Department, 59-year-old Joseph DeLucia had lived for his entire life with the siblings’ late mother in the home. Everyone else, including sister Joanne Kearns, 69, brother Frank DeLucia, 64, sister Tina Hammond, 64, and niece Victoria Hammond, 30, was seemingly in agreement over selling the place — besides Joseph.

On Sunday, they were set to meet with a realtor to begin that sale process, but that sadly never happened. NCPD Captain Stephen Fitzpatrick said in a press conference:

“They brought Starbucks and they assembled in the den area. The brother (Joseph) stayed behind.”

While they were awaiting the realtor’s arrival, Joseph apparently “decided that day to get a loaded, Mossberg shotgun, 12 gauge, approached them in the rear area of the house, and from the kitchen, fired 12 shots, striking all four of them multiple times.”

Holy s**t…

The police captain revealed:

“The perception of Joseph Jr. was that he was being cut out of the will and was going to be displaced without a place to go.”

And because of said “perception,” Joseph allegedly made the decision to remove his siblings and his niece from the equation… and himself, as well. Fitzpatrick added:

“He then took the weapon, went out to the front lawn, was shouting indiscriminately about what happened. A neighbor heard him doing this, called 911, and that was our 911 caller. He then fired a self-inflicted shot to the chest and killed himself.”

That is just so awful.

Fitzpatrick revealed Joseph had “past mental issues, psychological issues that were reported to us that we have not confirmed.” Apparently, in 2022, cops were called to the residence to conduct a welfare check. But at the time, he wasn’t “displaying any signs that he was dangerous to himself or others.” However, a neighbor reportedly told cops in an “unconfirmed” tip that Joseph “made statements in the past that if you hear gunshots, don’t bother calling 911 because it will be too late.”

WTF…

And get this: according to surviving family members via NBC New York, Joseph was NOT even being left out of the will as he reportedly believed. View more details on the tragic situation (below):

This is all just so, so sad. Our hearts go out to the surviving members of the family.

Ben Affleck‘s rumored new girlfriend Kick Kennedy has a strange backstory for an environmental activist!

It’s no secret that Kick’s father Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has shared some pretty unusual tales amid his failed presidential run, but this one that his own daughter revealed years ago?? It’s maybe the grossest… even potentially incriminating!!

Back in 2012, Kick reflected on her childhood with Town & Country, sharing a story that demonstrated how she inherited her father’s similar “eccentric environmentalism,” as the outlet put it. When she was just 6, she claimed in the profile, a whale washed up on Squaw Island in Hyannis Port, Massachusetts. Her father loved to study animal skulls and skeletons, so he raced down to the beach — to get the whale’s head! Yes, you read that right. He drove down, with the kids, and he CUT OFF THE WHALE’S HEAD WITH A CHAINSAW! Yikes!

Remember, Kick was there, just a little girl! So he not only decided to cut off this whale’s head, which sounds ghoulish enough… He brought his kids along! ICK!

RFK then bungee-corded it to the family’s minivan — where it stayed for a five-hour drive to Mount Kisco, New York. OMG! The 36-year-old recalled riding down home with this thing on the roof:

“Every time we accelerated on the highway, whale juice would pour into the windows of the car, and it was the rankest thing on the planet. We all had plastic bags over our heads with mouth holes cut out, and people on the highway were giving us the finger, but that was just normal day-to-day stuff for us.”

Jeez!!

How was that normal?! This is an absurd story in and of itself, but as mentioned, it could be illegal, too!!

The Center for Biological Diversity Action Fund is up in arms now that this story has resurfaced. The group’s national political director, Brett Hartl, even urged the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration to investigate. He wrote a letter to government officials on Monday, noting it’s illegal to possess “any part of an animal” protected by the Marine Mammal Protection and Endangered Species acts, which includes several whale species. He noted that “continued possession of any whale skull” would be an ongoing violation of the law.

Also, transporting a skull across state lines would be a “felony violation” of the 1900 Lacey Act, “which prohibits the transportation of any wildlife, dead or alive, that was reduced to possession in violation of any state, federal or international regulation or law.” Per Axios, Brett continued:

“Normally, an unverified anecdote would not provide sufficient evidence as the basis for conducting an investigation.”

But wild animal stories like this aren’t exactly new for this hopeful politician:

“However, Mr. Kennedy has admitted that he has recklessly — and with no regard to legal requirements — taken other species of wildlife for his own personal benefit.”

Earlier this month, before dropping out of the presidential race, Robert revealed he covered up the death of a bear after a woman hit and killed it. He’d planned to “skin” and eat the bear cub, but when he ran out of time to go home and drop the dead animal off before other plans, he decided to leave it in Central Park instead, where he made it look like the creature got hit by a bike. Yeah, he openly admitted to all of this (below), so that’s why this activist group is so concerned!

Looking forward to seeing how you spin this one, @NewYorker… pic.twitter.com/G13taEGzba

— Robert F. Kennedy Jr (@RobertKennedyJr) August 4, 2024

This is after that photo of him allegedly eating a roasted dog came out… This is just… wow. Three dead animal stories in just a few months. And we wouldn’t even have heard of this one if Kick hadn’t apparently started dating Ben Affleck! So the question comes to mind…

How many more weird ass RFK stories are out there??

While they’re hoping for a full investigation and any necessary consequences, at the very least, the organization wants RFK Jr. to surrender “any and all illegally obtained wildlife that he continues to possess.” So far, he hasn’t reacted to his renewed controversy. While Ben is denying having any involvement with Kick, this is sure one inneresting look at his potential new in-laws! LOLz!! Reactions?! Sound OFF (below)!

The post Ben Affleck's Rumored Love Interest Kick Kennedy Told The Most Horrifying Childhood Story We've Ever Heard! appeared first on Perez Hilton.

Jana Kramer is sharing her opinion on Blake Lively amid the It Ends With Us drama. And on this point she knows of what she speaks…

Thre’s been tons of criticism over how Blake has promoted the movie — especially compared to how her co-star Justin Baldoni is handling the press. Critics say the actress has been dismissive of the more serious aspects of the Colleen Hoover adaptation — which is all about domestic abuse and cycles of violence. Instead shes treating the movie like a fun rom com you should take all the girls to go see. The more it works — the movie is now Blake’s biggest hit ever — the more it has upset actual DV victims. And now, on Monday’s episode of her Whine Down podcast, Jana is weighing in.

Related: Blake Fears This Is ‘The End Of Her Career’ After Intense Backlash

Important to remember first, the singer/actress is a survivor of domestic violence. Her first husband Michael Gambino was convicted of attempted murder after he strangled the singer into unconsciousness. She’s been very open about her horrifying experiences, and she’s used her platform to raise awareness and help others who may be in similar situations — so it’s only natural she’s going to have an opinion on something so close to her heart.

On Monday, the 40-year-old admitted she hasn’t seen the movie yet because of the subject matter:

“I haven’t seen the movie. I have a tough time watching movies that deal with domestic violence given my history with it.”

She said she started to pay more attention to the film, though, as Blake’s controversy heated up:

“Then I started hearing stuff about the interviews, and for me, I was just, like, it made me sad because I just want the messaging to be about domestic violence and how to help people and how to get help.”

It was especially upsetting to Jana when the Gossip Girl alum seemed to explain her take on the movie, saying in a BBC interview that her character was “not just a survivor and she’s not just a victim” — because being a victim of violence shouldn’t  define you. Blake explained at the time:

“While those are huge things to be, they are not her identity. She’s not defined by something that someone else did to her or an event that happened to her, even if it’s multiple events. She defines herself and I think that that’s deeply empowering to remind people that no one else can define you. No experience can define you. You define you. We really feel like we delivered a story that’s emotional and it’s fun, and it’s funny, and it’s painful, and it’s scary, and it’s tragic and it’s inspiring and that’s what life is.”

That’s a take alright. But Jana disagrees — and makes it clear she figures Blake is only arriving at her hypothesis because she hasn’t ever experienced anything like what she’s talking about:

“It’s hard for people to talk about domestic violence when they haven’t, themselves, been, in real life, had the hands of domestic violence on them. So, for people to say it doesn’t define you, it does define you.”

Jana explained:

It has made me who I am. And though people can say, ‘It doesn’t define you,’ it is one of the biggest pieces of me, is domestic violence, and has been the biggest thread in my life.”

So sad… but so very true for many survivors of domestic violence. We’re happy for Blake if she’s never experienced this kind of thing. But if that is indeed the case maybe she should be listening to the experts here?

What do YOU think of Jana’s take, Perezcious readers? Do you agree Blake doesn’t know what she’s talking about? Let us know (below).

Tatiana and Sergio Pino were married for more than 30 years before the former filed for divorce from her Miami real estate developer husband in 2022. Since then, there have reportedly been several attempts made on her life. And in indictments obtained by multiple outlets, her estranged husband isn’t named, but rather identified by the FBI as “co-conspirator 1” in the alleged plot.

In a July press release following an indictment, the United States District Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of Florida charged nine individuals in connection with the case. Specifically, four of them were charged with stalking Tatiana, as well as arson. One was even accused of crashing a vehicle into Tatiana’s car while she was inside it!!

In another indictment, Miami officials accused a “second crew,” AKA the rest of the five charged in the case, with conducting similar dangerous crimes. That included entering Tatiana’s property “masked and without consent, and menacing others on her property by pointing a gun at their head,” according to the indictment.

Whoa…

Apparently, a June incident nearly turned fatal when Tatiana pulled up to her Pinecrest residence and a man pointed a gun at her. According to the Miami Herald, the victim escaped by driving her car into the backyard to gain her daughter’s attention, who called the cops. But when the daughter came outside, the man allegedly pointed the gun at her, too. Thankfully, he never pulled the trigger.

So scary!

Some of the other crimes those accused were charged with include setting fire to Tatiana’s car, and poisoning. In July, U.S. Attorney Markenzy Lapointe said during a news conference:

“[Sergio] decided he was going to kill his wife.”

The attorney accused Sergio of paying the hitmen hundreds of thousands of dollars for the murder of his estranged wife before their divorce would become final. According to the lawyer, Sergio even offered to DOUBLE a hit crew’s pay if his name would not be connected to the murder! So crazy!

In the July indictment, Sergio’s attorney Deanna Shifrin denied all accusations against him, claiming at the time, “there is nothing to indicate that he ever harmed or wanted to harm his wife.” However, later that same month, the real estate mogul was found dead in his Miami home after the FBI conducted “search and arrest operations.” A statement revealed:

“Upon arrival, members of the FBI Miami SWAT team attempted to call out any occupants of the residence. When there was no response, the SWAT team entered the residence and conducted a methodical search to locate the subject. Ultimately, Mr. Pino was discovered alone in an upstairs bedroom.”

What a harrowing story… We’re just glad Tatiana is okay! More details (below):

The post Rich Miami Developer Allegedly Tried To Have Wife Killed Amid Divorce -- And It All Ended With HIS Death As Cops Closed In! appeared first on Perez Hilton.

If you don’t know, JonBenét (lower inset) was an American child beauty queen whose body was found “bludgeoned and strangled” in the basement of her family home in Boulder, Colorado on December 26, 1996, when she was just six years old. Her mother contacted 911 hours before after finding a ransom note following her disappearance. The death was obviously ruled a homicide, but nobody was ever charged for the crime.

After a lengthy investigation, her parents and brother Burke were ruled out as suspects, but the DNA of an “unexplained third party” still hasn’t been identified. So, it’s a horrific case… and somehow just became the inspiration behind a dance routine?? FFS.

In the latest episode of Hulu‘s Dance Moms: A New Era titled “Glo Don’t Give with Both Hands” out earlier this month, 11-year-old dancer Ashlan Scheide performed a routine that ended with her strangling herself and running off stage. Before the performance, Ashlan’s mother Lisa told her:

“You’re going to be a glitz pageant girl — that’s who JonBenét was, but then she got kidnapped and murdered.”

Her daughter told cameras:

“It’s going to be hard pulling off as, like, a beauty queen but you’re also gonna, like, be pretending like you’re strangled.”

Her mom then went into gruesome detail about the case — literally breaking down the crime by timestamp!! That caused her daughter to react:

“Oh my gosh, this is really not for me, but I’ll do anything for the win.”

Yeesh!! See her discover the horrifying backstory behind her dance:

Later in the episode, Ashlan’s dance teacher Gloria “Miss Glo” Hampton, who assigned this unusual dance, told her pupil:

“Remember, it’s a really sad, tragic story. So you’re playing this young child who was put on display at all these pageants and your parents want this fame and stardom for you — but is that what they really want?”

Again, this is about a MURDERED girl. And she’s trying to turn this into a debate about child stardom, too? Why??

See some of the now-viral performance, which helped her finish in fourth place in the competition (below):

Viewers have been outraged by the “disturbing” routine, taking to X (Twitter) to react:

“I’m outraged by episode of Dance Mom’s! They had a girl portraying [JonBenét] Ramsey and end of dances finishes with girl strangling herself & running off! Omg so damn disrespectful!”

“Say WHAT??????? Sick.”

“Who the hell thought something so tragic and despicable would be a good idea to perform?”

“[This] has to be the most disgusting example of child exploitation on prime time tv.”

“We have become a disgusting society using the actual murder of a child for entertainment. Shame on everyone associated with this, including the pedophiles who enjoy it.”

“Who would be that stupid?”

Over on Reddit, another user called it “extremely disturbing,” adding:

“I feel with cases like Jonbenet and Gypsy Rose [Blanchard] where the cases are incredibly public, several documentaries and movies made about them…people start to blur the lines and forget these are actual real life children. I think a dance about Jonbenet could never truly be done in taste. Simply because there is no happy ending, it’s just emphasizing a horrific murder of a child.”

They added that the organizers “could’ve easily done a beauty pageant routine without exploiting Jonbenets murder.'”

Meanwhile, others found it strange to base the performance on the murder when it wasn’t even clear to the audience, adding:

“How was the audience supposed to deduce that was about JonBenet Ramsey? It was weird.”

Weird, unnecessary, distasteful. So many words come to mind! It’s just so incredibly shocking to make a CHILD do that! This is going to make for one crazy therapy appointment in the future. LOLz! Reactions?? Sound OFF (below)!

The post <i>Dance Moms</i> Fans OUTRAGED After Girl Forced To Do 'Disturbing' Routine Inspired By JonBenét Ramsey’s Murder! appeared first on Perez Hilton.

Nearly two weeks ago, a fire erupted in the small town of Concrete, Washington, and burned a two-story house there down to the ground. In the aftermath, Skagit County investigators painstakingly sifted through the ashes and rubble. And at the charred burn site, they made three horrific discoveries: the bodies of 52-year-old Erin Birman, her son 19-year-old Taylor Dawson, and his 18-year-old girlfriend Jillian Van Boven (pictured above, right).

Now, cops in Skagit County say that Erin’s husband, 49-year-old Jason M. Birman (pictured above, left), also lived at the residence. And, in the ashes of the burned-down house, there is evidence he was at the scene of the fire before the flames first broke out on August 9. But no sign of Jason’s remains has been found at the house in Concrete. And cops have now issued an arrest warrant for him — for three murders. Whoa!!

According to the Associated Press, the nearby Mount Vernon Police Department wants to find Jason ASAP and arrest him on three second-degree murder charges. The fire was so brutal and all-encompassing at the time that recovering the victims’ remains proved “extremely difficult,” per a press release from that department. And chillingly, after they did finally figure out who and where the victims were inside the blaze scene, medical examiners eventually determined that all three had been shot before the fire.

OMG…

Now, cops are searching for Jason’s blue 1994 Chevrolet pickup truck, as it is also “unaccounted for from the scene of the fatality fire” per the MVPD. Jason is known to be an avid four-wheeler, as well. Considering that and the location of the small town — about 100 miles outside of Seattle — police are branching out in nearby forests and outdoor spaces to search for him. Per the AP, the US Customs and Border Patrol‘s aviation branch has already been called to “conduct aerial reconnaissance of the greater area” in the search for Jason.

As for the victims, their loved ones are still trying to wrap their heads around the terrible tragedy. Matthew Van Boven spoke to local news outlet KIRO 7 this week about the tragic loss of his daughter. Matthew had indeed heard the very police sirens that were called to the scene that fateful early August morning, but at the time, he didn’t realize that his daughter and her boyfriend were involved:

“I just tried to call her and her phone was dead. I tried calling her boyfriend, Taylor, and his phone was dead. But you just don’t think it’s going to happen to you.”

Jillian, who Matthew and the rest of their family knew as Jilly, was adopted. She’d been planning on attending college in the fall. And after she graduated high school earlier this year, at a graduation party the family held for her over the summer, Matthew recalled a touching moment that Jillian had with her mother:

“Two weeks before this happened, [Jillian] told her, ‘thank you for giving me the best childhood I could have ever imagined.’ It does bring me peace, honestly.”

BTW, you can visit the GoFundMe page set up to defray the cost of Jillian’s funeral and memorial expenses HERE.

So, so heartbreaking. We send our condolences to Matthew and the rest of the family members, friends, and loved ones who died in this horrible tragedy. Hopefully Jason will be apprehended without anyone else getting hurt.

So, the moment in question went down over the weekend. On Saturday, the 47-year-old rapper and the 29-year-old architectural designer were driving through Beverly Hills when Ye spotted a group of Trump supporters holding an impromptu rally for the presidential candidate. Trump himself wasn’t there, but even so, Ye decided to pull over the Tesla Cybertruck he was driving and chat with his fellow MAGA fans!

As you can see (below), some men who were at the rally ran up to the car and started chatting with Ye sitting behind the steering wheel. But as you can also see below, poor Bianca was sitting in the passenger seat closest to the random guys and stuck in between them and the Hurricane rapper! From a safety standpoint alone, with the window rolled down, that was not a great place to be!!

Now, insiders are speaking out about Bianca’s appearance at the rally! Talking to DailyMail.com, one insider said people back home are “terrified” for Censori’s safety at random pro-Trump events like that. And furthermore, they’re worried that she has been “lost” to the clutches of Kanye’s highly concerning political beliefs!

The source explained that Ye stopped at the rally and engaged the large group of strangers AGAINST BIANCA’S WILL, which is super unsettling considering how many emotionally-charged people were there! And the source went on:

“Bianca was not onboard with the idea of stopping at the Trump rally. She is clearly not a conservative woman. Her overt display of sexuality and the fact that she believes a woman should be able to do whatever she wants with her own body isn’t exactly on board with Republican beliefs.”

Oof…

Preach it! She ain’t no tradwife! Does that mean she’s in danger??

Specifically, insiders are now worried about a couple different things. The first is concern that the Aussie may be turning to alcohol to deal with the stress of her marriage. Yikes. And the second is their major worry that “Kanye is putting her in danger by stopping and winding his car window down at a Trump demo.” Hmm.

Skeptical of Ye’s seemingly endless fascination with Trump, the insider added:

“This is after he denounced Trump and spoke out against him, and after Trump called Kanye someone who needs help. How is this safe?”

It’s true, Ye isn’t really with the MAGA crowd on everything either — for instance they want to ban porn, and he’s just getting into the business. But he does like being part of the group that don’t like being told not to be jerks.

But why is it so dangerous for her? The Republican Party isn’t exactly a bastion for pro-woman policies and platforms. (Boy, there’s the understatement of the century.) Thus, Bianca’s old friends Down Under are worried that by having Ye align her with all this Trump crap they know she’d be against, she’s really losing her way:

“For the most part, Trump’s supporters, and some Republicans, believe that it is okay for a man to decide what a woman should do, how she should behave, her role in the family, what she should and shouldn’t wear and how she should and shouldn’t act. This is terrifying to her loved ones as they feel this is how Kanye seems to view women — or at least Bianca. But this is the woman she is now, not the person she was before Kanye. Her friends feel like they have lost her.”

Ugh!
