The motive for the murder is still unclear, but Malachi Presley, My Angel Walker's on-again, off-again boyfriend, allegedly shot her and then placed her body in a car, which was later found burned. Another individual, Taylor Kynard, was also arrested for helping to cover up the crime.
Diego Leyva, a 16-year-old boy, allegedly killed his parents and siblings in their home in Belen, New Mexico. He called 911 to confess to the crime while heavily intoxicated. The victims were found with gunshot wounds, and a handgun was found on the kitchen table.
Pedro Luis Parra Pulgar is accused of intentionally setting his house on fire while his three children were inside. Two of the children escaped with minor injuries, but a three-year-old was rescued by police. Parra Pulgar is charged with three counts of attempted murder and is being held on a $2.25 million bond.
Todd Lewis, a teacher, allegedly taped a nine-year-old boy's neck to his desk for 40 to 50 minutes as a form of punishment. The teacher's aide, Sally Ann, witnessed the incident but did not intervene. Both were charged with endangering the welfare of a child and abuse and neglect of children, respectively.
Rex Heuermann, the accused Gilgo Beach serial killer, has been charged with a seventh murder. The victim, Valerie Mack, was found 24 years ago with her body dismembered. Investigators linked Heuermann to the murder through DNA found on the victim's body and evidence from his electronic devices, which contained violent and disturbing content.
The Alexander Brothers, twin real estate brokers Oren and Alin, and their older brother Tal, are accused of running a sex trafficking scheme for over a decade. They allegedly lured women with promises of luxury travel and events, drugged and raped them, and used their wealth and status to cover up their crimes. The FBI has identified approximately 40 victims with similar accounts of abuse.
Hannah Kobayashi's statement was vague, focusing on her healing and creativity, which has left many questioning her motives and the circumstances of her disappearance.
