Cesar Olalde Murders Family In Texas

Cesar Olalde is an alleged teen killer from Texas who has been charged with the murders of his entire family

According to police reports Cesar Olalde sister failed to show up to work and a concerned coworker would go over to her home and would discover four people laying dead inside of the home. The police were called and they would find Cesar Olalde barricaded inside of the home

Cesar Olalde would eventually come out of the home and be arrested by police

So the reason why he would murder Reuben Olalde and Aida Garcia, sister Lisbet Olalde and brother Oliver Olalde? He would tell police that they were cannibals and was afraid they were going to eat him

Cesar Olade has been charged with four counts of murder

Cesar Olade News

A Texas teenager has been arrested on murder charges after authorities allege he killed his parents and two siblings because he believed they were “cannibals” planning on eating him, according to multiple news reports.

Cesar Olalde, 18, is charged with capital murder of multiple people in connection with the shooting deaths of his parents, Reuben Olalde and Aida Garcia, sister Lisbet Olalde and brother Oliver Olalde, police said, per NBC News, KSLA, and Fox 23.

Cesar Olalde was taken into custody May 23 after a standoff in Nash – a small town near the Arkansas state line – that local police say began when they received a report of a man who had harmed his family and was threatening to kill himself, NBC News reports.

When they arrived, officers found Olalde barricaded inside a home and were told multiple people were dead inside, a press release states.

According to a probable cause affidavit obtained by NBC News, Olalde later called police saying “he had pulled the trigger, and shot his family.”

After negotiations, Olalde surrendered and police went inside the home, where they discovered the bodies of four people, according to the press release.

“It appeared as if the victims had been shot at various places in the residence and drug to the bathroom,” authorities said in the affidavit, per Fox 23. “Multiple spent cartridge casings” were found on the floor of the home, and there was “blood spatter on multiple surfaces.”

The affidavit states Lisbet’s co-worker went to the home after she didn’t show up for work that day, KSLA reports. When the co-worker got no response, he explained that with help from a family member, he forced his way into the house, where he was confronted by Cesar Olalde, who had allegedly pointed a gun at him, according to the outlet.

The co-worker also told police that Olalde allegedly said “he had killed his family because they were cannibals, and they were going to eat him,” the affidavit states, per NBC News.

A GoFundMe page has since been launched by the victims’ loved ones to help offset funeral costs.

“My whole family my father who was a hard working man, my mother who was a caring and loving person, my sister who was full of life, happiness, and dreams, and my little brother who was an amazing, funny, and cheerful kid passed in a tragic turn events that even in my worst nightmare I couldn’t have dreamed,” reads the fundraiser.

Nash police said Olalde was booked into the Bi-State Jail in Texarkana, Texas. His bond was set at $10 million, KSLA reports, and it’s unclear if he has entered a plea.

According to the outlet, Olalde is being represented by public defender Jeff Harrelson. PEOPLE was not immediately able to reach Harrelson.

Police said the investigation remains ongoing. Anyone with information on the case is asked to call the Nash, Texas Police Department at (903)-838-0822.

Murder Database Update

As you can tell my focus over the last month or so has been on Murder Database – murderdb.com and it is now around a thousand killers. I have been bouncing back and forth between death row inmates and executions,

The goal right now is just to cover as many as possible as quickly as possible. Once I get all of the people on death row and all of those executed in the United States since the death penalty came back in the 1970’s. Once this is done I am going to go back over each death row inmate, execution, teen killer and those that do not fit in those categories and source as much information as possible

I work full time as a truck driver and so my time is limited to work on Murder Database and My Crime Library so it feels like it is taking an awful amount of time however I think it is important to have a record of the awful crimes that have been committed

For those of you have been liking and sharing posts from My Crime Library and Murder Database I thank you as it helps so much in getting both of the sites out there

For those of you on Facebook make sure you are following My Crime Library page as all of the posts from Murder Database get posted there

Rachel Shoaf Parole Denied 2023

Rachel Shoaf parole has been denied at her first attempt to leave prison since being convicted of the murder of Skylar Neese

According to court documents Rachel Shoaf and Shelia Eddy would murder their friend Skylar Neese back in 2012

Rachel Shoaf and Shelia Eddy would pick up Skylar Neese from her home late at night. The three girls would go to a forested area where Shoaf and Eddy would attack and murder Skylar

The two would deny any involvement until Rachel Shoaf would breakdown leading authorities to the body of Skylar Neese

Rachel Shoaf would plead guilty and be sentenced to thirty years in prison with parole eligibility after ten years

Shelia Eddy would go to trial and be sentenced to life in prison with parole eligibility after fifteen years

Rachel Shoaf Parole Denied

Rachel Shoaf, one of the women convicted of killing Skylar Neese as a teenager, was denied parole on Tuesday.

Shoaf was sentenced to 30 years in prison, with the possibility of parole after 10 years, while Skylar’s other killer, Shelia Eddy, was sentenced to life in prison. In July 2012, the two drove Skylar across the Mason-Dixon line into Greene County, Pennsylvania, to kill her and bury her body. Skylar was 16 years old.

12 News Reporter and Anchor Riley Holsinger was invited to the hearing by Skylar’s father, Dave Neese. The hearing also marked an opportunity for Shoaf and the family of her victim to speak almost 11 years after the July 6, 2012 incident.

During the testimony portion of the hearing, Shoaf said that she and Eddy were in a relationship, and felt that if they were exposed, they would face consequences.

“After things became known with the relationship, there was tension between us,” Shoaf said. “It was hostile and violent, in our teenage minds we didn’t know how to handle the conflict and we just wanted it to stop.”

She also told the Parole Board that she was under the influence of marijuana at the time, which she did on the way there.

Shoaf was asked what she would say to Skylar’s family.

“I know, I can’t express how sorry I am for what I have done and for the pain I have caused,” Shoaf said. “I loved her. I know what we did was terrible and there’s no words to describe the pain that we caused and I know there is nothing I can say or do. I just pray for them all the time and pray for peace in their heart. I would trade places with Skylar so she could be with her loved ones. I just want them to know how deeply sorry I am.”

Dave provided 12 News with a written copy of his prepared statement:

Ladies and gentlemen of the West Virginia parole board, thank you for the opportunity to tell you why I believe this inmate should not be granted parole.

Because of that malicious monster, my child never got a limo for her prom. Instead, she got a ride in a coroner’s vehicle. Also, there was no sparkling gown for Skylar, just a body bag. She will never have a certificate of graduation, only a death certificate.

This narcissistic, first degree, cold-blooded killer is not sorry for the brutal murder of my only child. It’s my belief that she is proud she murdered my daughter in cold blood. The day after she plunged kitchen knives into my child, this devil was seen on a friend’s boat, smiling and posing for photographs. The date of July 6, 2012 was chosen for a specific reason, you see—this beast wanted the killing out of the way before she left for church camp. Just another task to mark off of her list, like standing over my child saying “Die, b****!” as my baby girl took her last breath, because the evil butcher didn’t want to be her friend.

I wasn’t there to defend my baby girl from this diabolical killer on July 6, 2012, but I’m here today to do everything within my power to make sure she stays behind bars.

This inmate has proven that she is both evil and mentally unstable. No one can fix that kind of madness. I believe if she is paroled, she will kill again. Murder is a game to this inmate. Ladies and gentlemen, that is insanity. This person has proved to be a narcissist and is a dangerous person who has no remorse in the least. This inmate has destroyed so many lives when she murdered Skylar.

This inmate is just the rat that narced and got a deal. Yes, she showed us where she murdered Skylar, yet she is also the narcissist liar that put my daughter in that place. This monster is a danger to society. If released, no parent can close their eyes at night without fear that their own child could possibly be the next victim.

This vicious murderer sits here today asking for a second chance. I ask you, where is Skylar’s second chance? Where was her second chance when this monster counted to three and began to slash and stab at my only child?

I don’t want to live in a world without Skylar, but I have to. I want to make sure it’s as safe as possible from predators like this one.

I ask that you deny parole for this diabolical butcher and allow Skylar’s mother and I the knowledge that her killer will not be granted the reality of adulthood that out daughter was never allowed to experience.

Shoaf remains in the Lakin Correctional Center where her projected release date is April 2028, according to the West Virginia Department of Corrections.

Eddy is also serving her sentence in the same facility. Her first parole hearing is currently scheduled for May 2028.

U.S.
Colorado jury finds Letecia Stauch guilty of killing 11-year-old stepson

May 8, 2023 / 6:53 PM / AP

Jurors found a Colorado woman guilty of murder in the death of her 11-year-old stepson on Monday, rejecting her claim that she was insane when she attacked him.

Letecia Stauch was convicted of all charges she faced in Gannon Stauch’s killing, over three years after prosecutors said she stabbed Gannon 18 times before hitting him in the head and then shooting him once. Prosecutors claimed Stauch killed the boy in January 2020 because she hated him and wanted to hurt his father, Al Stauch, whom she planned to leave and who was away on a National Guard deployment at the time.

Stauch did not deny killing Gannon and taking his body across the country in a suitcase in the back of a rented van. But she pleaded not guilty by reason of insanity. The defense argued that she killed Gannon during a “psychotic break” caused by trauma from being physically, emotionally and sexually abused during her childhood.

Experts at the state mental hospital concluded that Stauch had a personality disorder with borderline and narcissistic features but was sane at the time Gannon was killed. Under Colorado law, that means understanding the difference between right and wrong and being able to form the intent to commit a crime.

The main defense witness, Dr. Dorothy Lewis, author of the book “Crazy, Not Insane” and featured in an HBO documentary with the same title, concluded Stauch suffered from dissociative identity disorder — when someone has two or more personalities as the result of trauma — and was not sane at the time Gannon was killed.

In the weeks leading up to Gannon’s killing, Stauch was diagnosed with generalized anxiety disorder after she was referred to a psychologist while being treated in a military health clinic. Therapist Ronda Niederhauser testified that Stauch did not show any signs of being a threat to herself or others and was aware of her surroundings.

Authorities believe Stauch killed Gannon in his bedroom a few hours before reporting him missing on Jan. 27, 2020, saying he had not come home from playing with friends. Dozens of volunteers helped search for the boy in the area around where the family lived near Colorado Springs. However, investigators later revealed that Stauch concocted a variety of stories to mislead them, including that a man she hired to repair a carpet raped her and then abducted Gannon.

After Al Stauch became suspicious of his wife, he allowed the FBI to listen in on his phone calls with Stauch, trying to draw out more information from her about where Gannon was. Hours of audio from those calls along with video recordings of interviews with Stauch about her mental health were a prominent part of the evidence offered during the five-week trial.

Gannon’s remains were found by bridge inspectors in March 2020, inside a suitcase under a bridge on the Florida Panhandle. Prosecutors suggested that Stauch snuck out from a hotel room where she was staying with her daughter in Pensacola to dispose of his body in the middle of the night, hoping it would be swept into the Gulf of Mexico.

Stauch was convicted of first-degree murder after deliberation, first-degree murder of a child by a person in a position of trust, tampering with a deceased human body and tampering with physical evidence.

She did not appear to show any reaction to the verdict as it was read, sitting at the defense table between her two lawyers. Later, as everyone milled around court talking, she sat there alone, taking sips of water.

13 Yr Old Nolan Grove Charged With Murder

Thirteen year old Nolan Grove has been charged with the murder of twelve year old Kain Heiland before a planned sleepover

According to police reports Kain Heiland was fatally shot in the back by Nolan Grove near his home in Pennsylvania

The reason behind the shooting is not clear however it has been decided that Nolan Grove will be charged as an adult meaning he faces up to life in prison

Nolan Grove would surrender to authorities shortly after the murder. The alleged teen killer has been charged with murder in the third degree, involuntary manslaughter, carrying a firearm without a license, possession of a firearm by a minor, and recklessly endangering another person amongst other charges

Nolan Grove News

A 13-year-old is charged with murder in the death of a 12-year-old boy in Red Lion, York County.

York County District Attorney Dave Sunday made the announcement at a Friday morning news conference.

“Decisions to charge anyone, let alone a 13-year-old with third-degree murder are taken with the utmost seriousness and care,” Sunday said.

Nolan Grove, 13, is charged with murder in the third degree, which carries a maximum sentence of 40 years. He is also charged with:

Involuntary manslaughter.
Firearms not to be carried without a license.
Possession of a firearm by a minor.
Recklessly endangering another person.

Grove is charged as an adult. He surrendered Friday morning and was arraigned.

A judge ordered Grove to be detained at a juvenile facility.

A preliminary hearing is scheduled for June.

Kain Heiland, 12, was shot and killed on Saturday, April 1, in Red Lion. Sunday said Grove shot him in the back.

According to the affidavit of probable cause, a witness told investigators that Grove made a joke about Heiland’s mother. Heiland told Grove to shut up, and then Grove allegedly shot Heiland once.

The district attorney said witnesses and video were key evidence for the grand jury.

Charging documents indicate surveillance cameras inside the home of a boy who was with Grove and Heiland captured Grove pointing the red laser light of the gun at Heiland and Heiland saying, “Take your finger off the trigger.”

Police also said a two-hour FaceTime call placed by the third boy showed Grove pointing the gun at Heiland while Heiland was on the ground and shielding his face.

The boy said he heard Grove say after the shooting, “I am so sorry, K.” K is apparently short for Kain.

Witnesses also told police Grove threatened other children.

At one point, he approached two girls who he thought had his friend’s scooter. One of the girls said Grove told them he wasn’t afraid to shoot someone and would if he could.

Another witness said Grove pointed the gun at the girls as he walked away.

Heiland’s mother believes the charges against Grove should be stronger.

“I think it should have been first- or second-degree murder because I feel like it was premeditated. I feel like he planned out to kill my son,” Devin Rexroth said.

She also has a question for Grove.

“I would ask him why he killed my son because I’m just not understanding why he would do that,” Rexroth said.
