By HILLARY FEDERICOThe Hartford Courant

8:44 p.m. EDT, September 30, 2011

NORWALK—

A 22-year-old woman charged with fracturing her 5-month-old daughter's skull, arms and ribs allegedly told police she assaulted the baby because she was "stressed" and "overwhelmed" with the responsibilities of caring for an infant, a police spokesman said Friday.

Jamie E. Lane admitted to squeezing the baby on multiple occasions in an attempt to get her to stop crying, police spokesman Lt. Paul Resnick said. Lane, 22, and the baby had been living with Lane's boyfriend and parents at a house on 5 Avenue E, he said.

On Sunday, the baby was taken by Lane's parents to Norwalk Hospital, where she was admitted and evaluated by emergency room staff.

Holly Bobo's family expresses frustration

PARSONS, TN (WSMV) -

Inside Holly Bobo's home, Holly's mother Karen Bobo starts each day the same way, with a call to the TBI.

"I call every day and ask 'is there anything you can tell me today,'" Bobo said.

For the last two months, she's been getting the same reply.

"Of course their answer is not today. We're just not hearing anything and of course almost six months into it just gets more frustrating every day and harder every day," Bobo said.

That's not the only thing frustrating the Bobo's. First there are the constant rumors, calls and visits from psychics claiming they have answers, and even friends wanting to help.

"I do kind of get in these panic attacks when I have to leave the house. Being out in public and thinking everybody is looking at me," she said.

Aliayah Lunsford Still Missing on Day 7

Posted Friday, September 30, 2011 ; 06:33 PM
Updated Friday, September 30, 2011; 06:57 PM

By Stacy Jacobson

WESTON -- Seven days have gone by without locating Aliayah Lunsford, 3. And with the Friday weather cool-down, the search is turning desperate.

"That's a long time for a child to survive in this kind of environment without food, water and shelter and exposed to the elements," FBI Special Agent Jeff Killeen said.

Volunteer search and rescue crews and K-9 units re-combed the West Fork River and its banks Friday. The FBI said law enforcement is surveying the area separately, looking for any clues or evidence.

But the question of what happened to Aliayah remains and the possibility of eventual charges is becoming more probable.

"There's going to be some type of consequence. In all likelihood it's going to be a criminal consequence," Defense Attorney Tom Dyer said. Law enforcement sought legal advice from Lewis County Prosecutor Gary Morris Friday and briefed him on the case.

Defense Attorney Tom Dyer has offered his services for free to anyone who comes forward with information on Aliayah's whereabouts. He said coming forward is in the best interest of a potential perpetrator.

Mother of Baby Gabriel found incompetent to stand trial

Sept. 30, 2011 03:27 PM
The Republic/azcentral.com

A Maricopa County Superior Court Judge on Friday found Elizabeth Johnson, mother of Baby Gabriel, incompetent to stand trial.

But Judge Paul McMurdie also ruled that her condition could be restored to the point that she could eventually stand trial. He ordered a further report on her condition to be completed within 60 days.

At issue was whether Johnson, a 25-year-old Tempe resident charged with kidnapping, conspiracy to commit custodial interference and child abuse, was competent to participate in her defense and understand the proceedings.

Four of five doctors who evaluated Johnson found her to be incompetent. Of those, three determined she could be restored to competency with medicine and counseling.

Couple Accused of Raping Daughter During Supervised Visit

A woman whose daughter was murdered while in foster care in 2009 has, along with her husband, been charged with raping another daughter during a supervised visit at the Trumbull County Children's Services Center.

Allegations are that the couple raped their one-year-old, biological daughter during what was supposed to be a supervised visit at the Children's Services center on Reeves Road in Warren.

Family members discovered the rape when they found images on Cody Beemer's cell phone.

Powell sons need stability, security and love; counseling will help them cope with upheaval, child advocate says

SALT LAKE CITY — In the span of almost two years, the sons of Josh and Susan Powell have endured more loss and instability than some people experience in a lifetime.

The boys, ages 4 and 6, need nurturing and a sense of security as they cope with the latest changes in their lives — being placed in the care of their maternal grandparents, Chuck and Judy Cox, after a brief stay in foster care, experts say.

The boys were removed from their father's custody last week following the arrest of their paternal grandfather, Steven Powell, on charges of voyeurism involving children.

"First and above all, a child needs to feel love, that they're protected and everything is going to be OK," said Bonnie Peters, executive director of the Family Support Center.

Who's looking out for Susan Powell's kids?

When a Pierce County judge ruled this week that missing Puyallup mom Susan Cox Powell's 4 and 6-year-old sons should live with Susan's parents instead of her husband Josh, she did it based on the advice of a child advocate known as a guardian ad litem or court appointed special advocate (CASA).

Susan Powell went missing two years ago, her husband, Josh, has been a person of interest in the disappearance. Last week, Josh's father, Steven, was arrested at his Puyallup home, where he lived with his son and grandsons, for child pornography.

In difficult situations like this, the person looking out for the Powell boys is usually a volunteer, because there isn't enough money, or professionals, to go around.

As the search continues for Aliayah Lunsford, folks met up Thursday night to sing, pray and tell stories. The community and supporters had a candlelight vigil to show her the way back home.

"We were on Facebook Saturday, and about an hour after that we were up here. I just thought it would take, you know, a couple minutes to find her," said Margaret Blake.

"My sister and my family and I have searched the past couple of days, trying to help out as much as we could," Mary Good explains. "I just wish somebody had an answer. I have no idea. My heart aches. I'm a mother and would give anything to find her myself."

"We pray for her everyday, for her safety. And if she's not alive, we pray that someone finds her to give the community closure, let alone the family," explained Marsha Williston.

Folks all across the East Coast have joined in on the search, but since day one, it's evident members of the community came together.

A Scottsbluff man has waived his preliminary hearing after being charged in the death of his 8-year-old stepdaughter, who police say he admitted to killing. He has also decided to represent himself without an attorney.

Thirty-two-year-old Salvador Carlos Lopez appeared Monday in Sioux County Court on first-degree premeditated murder charges in the death of Kerra Wilson. Investigators found Kerra's body Thursday evening in a remote area of Sioux County after a rancher reported seeing something suspicious.

Lopez allegedly admitted to police Friday that he murdered Kerra, court documents show.

Photo of Powell ‘noose’; More porn allegations emerge

The Salt Lake Tribune

Updated 7 hours ago

Hangman’s noose, exercise equipment handle — or art object?

That latest description of a knotted rope apparently came hours after it was referenced in a custody court hearing for the children of missing Utah mother Susan Powell.

In a story that aired Thursday morning, ABC News correspondent Abbie Boudreau said "overnight ABC News got exclusive access to the home where Josh Powell lived with his two young sons."

Inside, she said the station got a "glimpse" of what Asst. Attorney General John Long referred to in a Pierce County, Wash. courtroom Wednesday as a "hangman’s noose."

The short clip begins in a darkened hallway at the top of a staircase and then enters what appears to be a lighted storage room. The camera focuses on a wood frame leaning against a shelf packed with books and other items. A noose-like rope dangles over the frame; next to it hangs what appears to be a papier-mâché figure.

Jury pool in Paterson murder trial to be asked about Casey Anthony case

THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 29, 2011

BY JOHN PETRICK

STAFF WRITER

THE RECORD

Prospective jurors in the upcoming trial of a Paterson man charged with murdering a National Guardsman from Woodland Park will be asked whether they followed the recent Casey Anthony trial and, if so, to share their thoughts about it.

Susan McCoy, Passaic County assistant deputy public defender, asked Superior Court Judge Greta Gooden-Brown to include the question as part of the overall inquiry into potential panelists’ backgrounds when jury selection begins Tuesday.

The judge agreed the questions about the recent high-profile case would help determine what potential panelists think about the presumption of innocence, reasonable doubt and the criminal justice system. She allowed the question to be asked, even though she said she suspected the provocative question could make the lengthy process of jury selection even lengthier.
