A West Virginia prison inmate whose infant daughter has been missing for more than two years has been indicted on murder and other charges, authorities said.
A grand jury in Cabell County indicted Shannon Patrick Overstreet on charges of murder; death of a child by a parent by child abuse, and concealment of a deceased human body, Huntington police said Friday in a news release.
Without elaborating, the statement said investigators collected evidence indicating Overstreet was responsible for the death of Angele Nichole Overstreet and for concealing and disposing of her remains.
The girl was 3 months old when she last was seen in May 2021. Her disappearance led to an investigation involving the Huntington police department, the FBI, the U.S. Marshals Service, and state police and other agencies from West Virginia and Kentucky.
Overstreet is serving a sentence of two to 10 years at the Huttonsville Correctional Center after acknowledging that the state had enough evidence to convict him of malicious wounding and forgery related to striking his mother in the head and signing her name to a check and cashing it. These crimes happened the same month that his daughter last was seen, The Herald-Dispatch reported.
Police in May 2021 asked for the public’s help in locating the baby. West Virginia Child Protective Services reported her missing after checking with Overstreet regarding custody issues in Kentucky. Overstreet told them at the time he had given the girl to workers with the agency two weeks earlier, but investigators were unable to substantiate a custody exchange.
A Cabell County grand jury has indicted a man in connection with the death of his three-month-old daughter.
Shannon Patrick Overstreet is charged with death of a child by a parent, guardian or custodian or other persons by child abuse; murder; and concealment of a deceased human body.
Three-month-old Angel Nichole Overstreet was last seen on May 2, 2021. Huntington police searched for the little girl for months.
“We are very concerned for the safety and well-being of the child,” former Huntington Police Chief Ray Cornwell said not long after the little girl’s disappearance. “We are unable to determine her location, whereabouts or well-being, and that’s what we’re focused on right now.”
Police searched the home of Shannon Overstreet’s mother early in the investigation.
In June 2021, investigators were led to a remote pond on property Shannon Overstreet owned in Carter County, Kentucky.
According to the Friday new release from Huntington Police, investigators were able to collect evidence indicating Shannon Overstreet was responsible for his daughter’s death “as well as being responsible for concealing and disposing of her remains.”

Kaitlin Cyrus News
The three-year-old boy who was severely beaten in Massena has died. Now his mother and her boyfriend are charged with manslaughter.
Village police say the toddler, Kayden Flowers, died shortly after 9 a.m. Thursday at the University of Vermont Medical Center.
His mother, 23-year-old Kaitlin Cyrus, and her boyfriend, 24-year-old Jovannie Vega, were arrested on Tuesday on felony counts of assault and reckless endangerment.
On Thursday afternoon, the couple was arraigned in Massena Town Court on additional counts of first-degree manslaughter.
According to court documents, Vega allegedly threw the toddler against a bedroom wall and slammed him onto the ground several times.
The boy suffered a broken leg and arm, lacerated liver, brain bleed, severe brain swelling, and loss of brain function.
Kaitlin Cyrus is accused of allowing Vega to engage in ongoing physical abuse of the child. She allegedly failed to seek medical attention for her son for about 48 hours after he was injured, according to court documents.
“I’m in my 20th year of law enforcement and this was the worst case I’ve ever seen,” said Massena Police Chief Jason Olson.
Village police said the child was beaten Tuesday morning at the home Cyrus and Vega shared at 16 Francis Street, Lot 44. When asked about the court papers which said Cyrus failed to seek medical attention for her son for 48 hours, police declined to comment further.
Cyrus and Vega have been held without bail in the St. Lawrence County Jail since their arrest on Tuesday.
According to police, the toddler’s father lives in Massachusetts.
A 3-year-old child whom police say was beaten and neglected by two Massena residents this week has died, and the couple charged Tuesday now face felony first-degree manslaughter counts. Other charges are pending.
Kayden Flowers died at 9:02 a.m. Thursday at the University of Vermont Medical Center, where he had been airlifted on Tuesday.
With a crowd of about 30 people gathered outside the Massena Police Department on Main Street, Jovannie Vega, 24, and Kayden’s biological mother Kaitlin Cyrus, 23, were arraigned separately by Massena Town Justice Joseph Brown on the manslaughter charge Thursday afternoon. Both pleaded not guilty and were sent back to the St. Lawrence County jail, Canton, without bail. Kayden’s biological father resides in Massachusetts, according to Massena Police Detective Michael J. O’Brien.
Attorneys had asked Brown to release Kaitlin Cyrus under the supervision of the probation department and to set reasonable bail for Vega.
They had been held at the county jail without bail since their arraignment by Brown Tuesday on felony charges of first-degree assault, two counts of second-degree assault and first-degree reckless endangerment. Cyrus had also been charged with reckless assault.
O’Brien said they had responded to a 911 call at 8:37 a.m. Tuesday. Police said no complaints of abuse had been made to the department prior to this week’s incident.
In his written statement, O’Brien said Vega had thrown Kayden into the bedroom wall and slammed him several times onto the ground at their home at 16 Francis St., Lot 44. Cyrus is accused of allowing Vega “to engage in ongoing physical abuse of the three-year-old victim” and “failed to seek aid and did not seek medical attention for said child for approximately 48 hours” after the incident, O’Brien wrote.
Kayden suffered a broken femur, broken arm, lacerated liver, brain bleed, severe brain swelling and loss of brain function.
“Said actions ultimately caused the death of the three-year-old victim,” O’Brien wrote.

Patrick Scott News
A 59-year-old man suspected in the June disappearance of a 17-year-old neighbor has been charged with murder after human remains were found buried in a pit on his central Indiana property.
Patrick Scott of Arlington appeared Thursday in Rush County Circuit Court for an initial hearing. Scott also is charged with obstruction of justice and false informing.
He was ordered jailed without bond. A public defender has been appointed to represent him, court records show. A person who answered the phone at the Rush County Public Defender’s office said Thursday that the office had no comment on the case.
Valerie Tindall told her parents on June 7 that she was going to work. She worked for Scott who owned a lawn mowing business, according to court documents which detailed that Tindall met Scott and he drove her back to his home early that afternoon.
Arlington is about 30 miles southeast of Indianapolis.
Tindall later was reported missing.
On Oct. 11, cadaver-sniffing dogs indicated the smell of decomposition in a pond near Scott’s property, but a search failed to turn up anything. One of the dog handlers told police that water is known to hold odor and that the smell could have come from runoff into the pond.
Police on Tuesday found a large dirt pile and debris on Scott’s property. Using shovels, they dug up a rectangular box wrapped in tarp. Inside the box were human remains which included fingernails painted with orange polish, documents said.
Police said that a photo posted to social media on June 7 showed Tindall with orange-colored nails.
The Associated Press left messages Thursday with Rush County Coroner asking if the remains had been identified as those of Tindall.
Sheriff Allan Rice told reporters the remains likely belong to Tindall.
“This is not the outcome we had all hoped for, but I want to stress to the public that this case is far from over,” Rice said Wednesday. “Justice will be sought.”
Scott was arrested Tuesday and told investigators he strangled Tindall with his belt in the bedroom of his home when she tried to blackmail and seduce him, according to court documents.
Shena Sandefur told WRTV-TV that her daughter worked for Scott and that the family trusted him.
“She and him had a bond. They were friends,” Sandefur said. “She worked for him, but she also hung out with his family. His granddaughter was her friend, and we went places with them.”
Court documents reveal that Patrick Scott, the neighbor and boss of missing teenager Valerie Tindall, reportedly admitted to officers that he killed the 17-year-old girl on June 7 — strangling her with a belt and then burying her in a homemade box in his backyard.
Patrick Scott, 59 of Arlington, was arrested on Tuesday evening after federal agents and local authorities descended upon his property in a concentrated search for the missing teenager who hadn’t been seen alive since June 7.
Previous reports detail how Scott was not only a trusted neighbor to Tindall and her family, but that the teenager worked for him as part of his landscaping company; mowing lawns in the summer.
On Wednesday, the Rush County Sheriff’s Department announced that Scott had been arrested on a preliminary charge of murder after human remains were found on his property. On Thursday, the Rush County Coroner positively identified the remains as those of Valerie Tindall.
Newly released court documents reveal that officers uncovered two homemade boxes made of 2x4s and oriented strand boards during the search of Scott’s property on Tuesday. Originally a source told FOX59/CBS4 that the human remains were found in a barrel. Court documents detail that the remains were actually found in one of the buried homemade boxes.
According to the documents, an officer observed the human remains located within the box and described “instantly” spotting orange fingernails on the deceased body. Police said the fingernail color matched a photograph found on social media of Valerie Tindall posted on June 7.
Inside the second homemade box were VHS tapes and miscellaneous paperwork.
Scott was taken into custody after the discovery of the human remains and questioned by police. During this questioning, Scott reportedly admitted to killing Valerie. He said his wife and daughter “don’t know nothing” about the killing and told officers he strangled Valerie with a belt; a belt Scott said he continued to wear after.
“I put it around her neck and I held onto it until she quit,” Scott allegedly described to police.
Investigators found records of Scott purchasing the 2x4s and the oriented strand boards at the Home Depot in Greenfield the day after Valerie vanished on June 7. He later told police he did purchase the boards to make the box he put Valerie’s body in. He said prior to making the box, Valerie’s body was in his office.
After making the box, Scott told officers he wrapped her in plastic, put her in the box and screwed it shut, then wheeled it out of his office on a dolly. He then put the box in a hole and went to work with a shovel to cover it up. Scott told officers the second box had been in the hole since July and that he used it to “put s*** in.”
When police asked if Scott hated Valerie, he said no and told officers the two had done all sorts of things together outside of working; like shopping and going out to eat.
Patrick Scott claimed he hadn’t planned to kill Valerie and that it “just kind of happened.” Scott also made claims that he thought Valerie was going to seduce him or try and blackmail him into buying her a new car.
“I just knew she wasn’t going to blackmail me,” he allegedly told an officer.
When asked if it bothered him that he killed Valerie, Patrick Scott reportedly said, “Well, I wasn’t too crazy about it.”
Valerie’s last known location, according to cell phone records, wasn’t far from Scott’s home. Her last phone activity was shortly before 1 p.m. on June 7. Previous reports detail how Scott gave inconsistent stories about last seeing Valerie and ended up being charged with false informing in June.
Court documents reveal that police searched Scott’s property with cadaver dogs on Oct. 11, with the dogs giving a positive indication of the presence of human remains within a pond on Scott’s property. However, a search of the pond didn’t uncover any remains.
Officers later spoke to the dog handlers and learned that water is known to hold scent and that wind could have carried the scent toward the pond. Police noted in their report that on Oct. 11 the wind was coming from the direction of Scott’s property where the homemade box would eventually be found.
Police reportedly ordered a topography study to also search for possible water run-off that drained into Patrick Scott’s pond along with ordering a flyover of the property as investigators attempted to zero in on the possible reason the cadaver dogs indicated possible human remains on Oct. 11.
During a flyover conducted on Oct. 12, police noted “multiple areas of obvious ground disturbance.” Search warrants were requested on Nov. 27 leading to nearly 40 federal agents and local law enforcement officers descending upon his property on Nov. 28.
The two buried homemade boxes were found underneath a pile of miscellaneous debris, according to the court documents. Previously, witnesses reported seeing Scott tear down and burn his garage at 2 a.m. not long after Valerie vanished.
Police said that when the box was uncovered, officers immediately noted the smell of decomposition despite the box being wrapped in a tarp with duct tape used on the seams.
Patrick Scott was officially charged with murder on Thursday, two days after the human remains were found on his property. He also is charged with obstruction of justice.

Jayden Rivera News
A Bronx, New York, triple murder suspect is accused of stabbing his 5-year-old half-brother, whom he was babysitting on Saturday, his father, and his father’s girlfriend, even beating the victims with a pot.
The arrest of 19-year-old Jayden Rivera came Wednesday, days after the alleged murders of his father, 38-year-old Jonathan Rivera, his father’s girlfriend, 33-year-old Hanoi Peralta, and his half-brother, 5-year-old Kayden Rivera, because he has been undergoing psychiatric evaluation at Westchester County Medical Center, where he “made some spontaneous utterings that he did something bad, and that he killed somebody,” according to NYPD Chief of Detectives Joseph Kenny.
After the slayings, Jayden Rivera allegedly went back to his mother’s home, where he lived, said he had been “hearing voices,” and said that he “thought that Mr. Rivera and Ms. Peralta were going to hurt him,” Kenny said. The suspect’s bloody clothes were allegedly found at his mom’s apartment.
The NYPD said that 5-year-old Kayden Rivera was found at the Mott Haven stabbing scene early Sunday, allegedly “disemboweled” by his half-brother and babysitter. Cops have also said Jonathan Rivera was stabbed in the chest and Peralta, Kayden’s mother, was stabbed 15 times after the two returned home from a date. In addition, the victims were reportedly beaten with a pot from the kitchen, denting the pot.
The murder and manslaughter case stunned family members of the suspect, who reportedly didn’t have a history of mental illness and was the first in his family to go to college.
Neighbors who overheard the violence were also horrified in retrospect.
“There was this last thing, where the man went … ahh and it might have been the fatal blow and then it got quiet,” one reportedly told CBS New York.”
Another told Fox 5 that they opened their door and saw Jonathan Rivera stabbed to death in a hallway.
“I opened my door to go to work and the body was there,” the resident reportedly said.
Fernando Cruz, another neighbor, reportedly recalled hearing “a scuffle or something going on in the hallway.”
“I know I heard that, and then I heard a woman screaming,” Cruz added.
