A North Carolina man allegedly kidnapped a woman and told her he wanted to murder and mutilate her “for the thrill” – as he eerily expressed an interest in cannibalism.

Hunter Chase Nance, 24, allegedly exchanged numbers with a woman at a gas station and later picked her up and took her to his home in China Grove – about 35 miles northeast of Charlotte, according to local WBTV.

Neighbors reportedly called 911 when they saw the woman staggering down the street after she escaped from Nance’s house, according to police.

The incident left residents of the small town shocked.

“It’s unbelievable,” Paula Fullbright, Nance’s next-door neighbor, told the local outlet.

“I mean obviously it could have ended up worse,” Fullbright said. “Thank God the girl was strong enough to fight him off and get away.”

“Honestly, I’ve had thoughts go across my mind, ‘What if he tried to break in my house and get one of my daughters?’ That’s terrible that I even have that thought,” the neighbor added. “I wish I hadn’t, but that is the reality of it right now.”

Richard Dawson, another neighbor, told the outlet that the incident sparked fear in the community.

“You don’t know who you’re living next to anymore,” he said.

Tye Braxton Stiger Faces Federal Sex Crime Charges

Tye Braxton Stiger is a man from Michigan who was facing a host of sex crimes when he fled the country and headed to the Philippines. Finally after some time Tye Braxton Stiger would be extradited from the Philippines and sent back to the USA to face a number of serious charges. According to police reports when Tye Braxton Stiger was a Sunday School teacher he would take advantage of a child over a six year period. On top of those charges Tye Braxton Stiger is also facing a number of child pornography charges. Tye Braxton Stiger has been charged with two counts of sexual exploitation of a child, two counts of attempted sexual exploitation of a minor and one count of possession of child pornography.

Tye Braxton Stiger More News

A Jonesville man who fled to the Philippines to avoid prosecution on dozens of child sex abuse charges last summer is back in custody in Michigan after being extradited back to the United States.

Tye Braxton Stiger, 36, made his initial appearance in the United States District Court for the Western District of Michigan in Grand Rapids on Tuesday, Feb. 14, after a federal grand jury indicted him on charges of two counts of sexual exploitation of a child, two counts of attempted sexual exploitation of a minor and one count of possession of child pornography.

“These sexual exploitation and child pornography allegations are extremely disturbing and serious,” said U.S. Attorney Mark Totten. “My office is committed to protecting our youngest and most vulnerable citizens – our children.”

The Hillsdale County Prosecutor’s Office referred the matters to the U.S. Attorney’s Office last summer after issuing a 34-count warrant for his arrest with several accusations stemming from Stiger’s volunteer work at local churches where he allegedly sexually assaulted several minors.

“Given the nature and severity of the offenses Tye Braxton Stiger is accused of, we believe it would be in the best interests of the community and the best use of our resources for the child sexually abusive material charges to be handled by the United States Attorney’s Office at this time,” Chief Assistant Prosecutor Jamie Wisniewski said.

Local charges are still pending but will be amended, Wisniewski added.

Wisniewski issued a press release July 19, 2022, seeking information leading to Stiger’s arrest after a lengthy investigation culminated in an arrest warrant being issued.

Tye Braxton Stiger was then arrested in early August by the Bureau of Immigration in Diego Cera Avenue, Las Pinas City near the Philippine capital of Manila. Filippino authorities worked in conjunction with the U.S. Marshals.

Stiger — a former church volunteer linked to at least two local churches over the past decade — came under investigation of the Michigan State Police in February 2022 when a former victim of his came forward.

The victim alleged that Stiger sexually abused her as a child between 2009 and 2015 while Stiger acted as a Sunday school teacher.

The incidents occurred at several homes where he resided and during a church camping trip.

As a result of the police investigation, a search warrant was executed at Stiger’s home on Feb. 23, 2022, where a number of devices were seized from the home including cell phones and computers.

An analysis of the devices by the MSP Crime Lab determined the devices contained images and video of suspected child sexually abusive material.

There were over a dozen videos of Stiger placing a hidden camera at various locations to secretly record minor children changing and many of the children in the videos remain unidentified.

The prosecutor’s office charged Stiger with one count of child sexually abusive activity, 10 counts of possession of child sexually abusive material, four counts of a video depicting child sexually abusive material, 15 counts of using a computer to commit a felony, three counts of eavesdropping and two counts of second-degree criminal sexual conduct.

The prosecutor’s office said that Stiger was known to volunteer with the Hillsdale Assembly of God and Hillsdale United Brethren Church communities.

Tye Braxton Stiger DOJ Press Release

U.S. Attorney Mark Totten announced that Tye Braxton Stiger, age 35, of Jonesville, made his initial appearance in the Western District of Michigan on February 14, 2023. A federal grand jury previously returned an indictment charging him with two counts of sexual exploitation and attempted sexual exploitation of a child, in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 2251(a) and (e); and one count of possession of child pornography, in violation of 18 U.S.C. §§ 2252A(a)(5)(B), (b)(2) and 2256(8)(A). After indictment, law enforcement found and arrested Stiger in the Philippines, then extradited him to the United States for federal prosecution.

“These sexual exploitation and child pornography allegations are extremely disturbing and serious,” said U.S. Attorney Mark Totten. “My office is committed to protecting our youngest and most vulnerable citizens – our children.”

This matter was referred to the U.S. Attorney’s Office by the Hillsdale County Prosecutor. There is also a related, outstanding 34-count warrant out of Hillsdale County against Stiger charging second degree criminal sexual conduct, aggravated sexually abusive activity, aggravated possession of sexually abusive material, using a computer to commit a crime, and installing/using an eavesdropping device.

Jamie Wisniewski, a Hillsdale County Assistant Prosecuting Attorney, advised, “Given the nature and severity of the offenses Mr. Stiger is accused of, we believe it would be in the best interests of the community and the best use of our resources for the child sexually abusive material charges to be handled by the United States Attorney’s Office at this time.”

The charges in an indictment are merely accusations, and a defendant is presumed innocent until and unless proven guilty in a court of law.

Mansour Mbodj Charged In New Orleans Parade Murder

Mansour Mbodj is a man from New Orleans who has been charged with a murder that took place during the annual Bacchus festival. According to police reports Mansour Mbodj would allegedly open fire killing a teenager and injuring four others. Among the four shot and injured are a four-year-old girl, an 18-year-old man, a 22-year-old woman and a 24-year-old woman. Police believe that Mansour Mbodj was involved in an altercation with another person and gunfire would follow. Mansour Mbodj would be arrested at the scene with the gun in his hand.

Mansour Mbodj More News

A shooting on a carnival parade route in New Orleans on Sunday night killed one man and wounded four other people, including a four-year-old girl, according to officials.

Authorities said they had arrested a man at the scene on a weapons charge, but they stopped short of calling him the shooter.

The shooting occurred about 9.30pm local time near St Charles Avenue and Terpsichore Street, in front of an eatery and “just steps” from revellers who had congregated to watch the annual parade staged by the Krewe of Bacchus, the New Orleans CBS affiliate WWL-TV reported.

Bacchus rolls annually on the Sunday before Mardi Gras, or Fat Tuesday, which in Christian cultures marks the last day before Lent.

A male thought to be between the ages of 15 and 18 was killed, the New Orleans police chief, Michelle Woodfork, said during a press briefing Monday. A four-year-old girl, an 18-year-old man, a 22-year-old woman and a 24-year-old woman were injured.

Woodfork called the shooting that marred the Bacchus parade “an isolated incident” that resulted from people having a conflict and at least one of them deciding that “the resolution … would be gunfire”.

Police officers arrested Mansour Mbodj, 21, at the scene of the shooting on a count of illegal carrying of a gun. But Woodfork said investigators had not immediately been able to determine exactly who fired and whether there was more than one shooter.

In court documents obtained by the Guardian, police said officers heard a dozen gunshots erupt at the corner of St Charles and Terpsichore before seeing Mansour Mbodj fleeing. Mbodj was looking back, they said, holding “an unknown object in his right hand”, when an officer successfully ordered him to get on the ground.

Officers said they saw Mansour Mbodj lying next to a black pistol and handcuffed him. He allegedly claimed that strangers were shooting at him and did not understand his constitutional rights before he was brought to jail to be booked, officers wrote in the records.

In Louisiana, illegal carrying of a gun is often a misdemeanor calling for up to six months in prison and a maximum fine of $500. But there are cases involving violence or prior convictions where those penalties can be enhanced.

In addition to the pistol spotted near Mansour Mbodj when he was detained, officers also recovered a second gun at the scene, Woodfork said.

One witness told WWL-TV that he heard at least a dozen shots ring out as attendees scrambled to flee the gunfire. Before the shooting, the witness said there were several confrontations around this same area that police intervened in.

“Everyone ran – everyone took cover,” Andrew Crawford told WWL-TV. “My whole family ducked. I kind of just hovered over my family, like the small children.”

New Orleans has seen gun violence at or near carnival festivities in prior years.

A 15-year-old girl died last year after being struck by a stray bullet several blocks from the Krewe of Endymion’s parade route on the Saturday before Mardi Gras, according to authorities.

Meanwhile, a man was shot dead during a parade on St Charles on Mardi Gras in 2018, less than a mile away from the spot where Sunday’s shooting occurred.

There was another mass shooting in Tennessee earlier on Sunday. One person was killed, and 10 others wounded early on Sunday morning, in two Memphis shootings that might be connected, according to CNN.

It’s unclear whether there were multiple shooters. Authorities said the motive is not yet known, USA Today reported.

On Friday, a man shot and killed six people – including his former wife and stepfather – in Arkabutla, Mississippi. The suspected shooter, identified by authorities as Richard Dale Crum, opened fire across several locations in the rural community of less than 300 people.

The New Orleans, Memphis, and Arkabutla mass shootings are among at least 82 mass shootings recorded in the US so far this year as Monday morning, averaging more than one daily, according to the Gun Violence Archive. The non-profit defines a mass shooting as four or more persons injured or killed, not including the shooter.

Joe Biden renewed calls for more substantial gun control legislation after the Mississippi shootings, saying in a statement: “Enough.”

“Thoughts and prayers aren’t enough,” the president said, employing the phrase often used by gun rights advocates in the wake of mass shootings. “Gun violence is an epidemic and Congress must act now. We need – need – commonsense gun law reforms.”
