Jeremy Everett Goodale and Willard Noble Chaiden Miller are two teen killers who have been charged in the murder of their spanish teacher Nohema Graber. According to early reports the two teen stalked the women and learned all of her behaviors before the day of the murder. The murder which took place in November 2021 when Jeremy Everett Goodale and Willard Noble Chaiden Miller would grab Nohema Graber and drag her into the woods where she was beaten to death. Graber body would be found the same day she was reported missing,

Right now the argument is whether or not Jeremy Everett Goodale and Williard Noble Chaiden Miller should be tried as juveniles or as adults. The difference if convicted in sentencing is drastic.

The county attorney prosecuting the case of two southeast Iowa teens who were charged with murdering their high school Spanish teacher said in court documents that the students surveilled the pattern of her life, ambushed her along her daily walk and dragged her into the woods.

The teens murdered Nohema Graber, 66, and later returned to hide her lifeless body. The chilling new details were revealed in a December 23 filing in the case of Jeremy Everett Goodale, 16, of Fairfield. Goodale was charged with murder and conspiracy to commit murder with classmate Willard Miller, 16.

Graber originally hailed from Xalapa, Mexico. She had been teaching Spanish at Fairfield High School since 2012, although it’s unclear whether she had been the suspects’ teacher at some point. The 66-year-old previously taught in the Ottumwa Community School District. The two 16-year-old students have been charged with the death of the high school teacher after her body was found concealed in a park in Iowa. Authorities revealed on Thursday, November 4, that Nohema Graber was reported missing on Tuesday, November 2.

Her remains were found later that day at the Chautauqua Park in Fairfield, about 100 miles southeast of Des Moines. The Jefferson County Sheriff’s Department said Willard Noble Chaiden Miller and Jeremy Everett Goodale, both students at the school, were charged as adults with first-degree homicide and conspiracy to commit first-degree homicide.

Authorities confirmed later that Graber suffered ‘inflicted trauma to the head’. Her body was found concealed under a tarp, wheelbarrow and railroad ties at the Chautauqua Park in Fairfield. Authorities are yet to release a motive behind the murder. Jefferson County Attorney Chauncy Moulding said that Jeremy Everett Goodale must be tried as an adult because if he is tried and convicted in the juvenile court system, he would have to be released in less than 24 months, at the age of 18. 

“This prosecuting attorney cannot fathom any combination of programming at any Iowa juvenile facility which could appropriately treat or rehabilitate the defendant if adjudicated as a juvenile,” he said. Both the teens have pleaded not guilty.

Following the murder, Iowa State Education Association President Mike Beranek said in a statement, “an act like this is unspeakable, and we are torn that one of our education family is a victim to such a senseless act. Every day, educators work tirelessly to protect the students in their care. With full hearts and deep commitment, educators have been the backbone of our state and our nation during this unprecedented time. We cannot understand this, or any violence aimed at such guardians,” he had added.

Willard Miller and Jeremy Everett Goodale Other News

Two Iowa teenagers have been charged with first-degree murder after authorities say they brutally beat to death a 66-year-old Spanish teacher.

The elderly female teacher is said to have died as a result of head trauma

Police say 16-year-olds Willard Miller and Jeremy Everett Goodale killed 66-year-old Nohema Graber, their Spanish teacher at Fairfield High School in Fairfield, Iowa, in November.

According to reports, Goodale and Miller publicly discussed how they watched Graber, followed her, and killed her with a bat. The two are said to have hidden her body in a local park underneath both a tarp and a wheelbarrow.

Her lifeless body was discovered just one day after she was reported missing.

Authorities said that Jeremy Everett Goodale wrote Snapchat messages — which are ephemeral in nature — describing how the attack unfolded, which prompted an acquaintance to save the messages in order to prove how the two “were involved in the planning, execution, and disposal of evidence” in connection with Graber’s murder.

Miller is said to have admitted to the Iowa Division of Criminal Investigation that he provided the wheelbarrow that obscured Graber’s body

Fox News on Thursday reported that Judge Shawn Showers this week denied defense attorneys’ requests that a hearing on whether the two teens will be tried in adult court be kept private. According to the report, the judge said the defense “failed to show how allowing the public at the hearing would be unfair to their clients” and declined the request

Showers has scheduled Goodale’s trial for Aug. 23 and Miller’s trial for Nov. 1.

The Des Moines Register reported that In Iowa, anyone age 16 years or more and who has been charged with a forcible felony is automatically waived to adult court and is “subject to the same criminal procedures and penalties as adults.”

The outlet added that while the adult sentence for murder is life in prison in Iowa, in 2016, the Iowa Supreme Court prohibited judges from handing down sentences of life without parole for offenders under age 18.

Ethan Crumbley Michigan School Shooter

Ethan Crumbley school shooter

Fifteen year old Ethan Crumbley has been charged with four counts of murder in the school shooting that took place at Oxford High School in Michigan. According to police reports Ethan Crumbley arrived at school armed with a 9mm Sig Sauer and opened fire killing four students. Ethan Crumbley who allegedly told police that he was being bullied at school left a few cryptic social media messages before the tragedy occurred. Tate Myre, 16; Hana St. Juliana, 14; and 17-year-old Madisyn Baldwin. Justin Shilling, 17, died in the hospital on Wednesday morning. Ethan Crumbley has been charged with  four counts of first-degree murder, one count of terrorism causing death, seven counts of assault with intent to murder and 12 counts of possession of a firearm in the commission of a felony.

Ethan Crumbley More News

Ethan Crumbley, who is accused of killing four fellow students at a Michigan high school, will be tried as an adult and faces murder, assault and weapons charges.He will also face one count of terrorism causing death, a rare charge for a school shooting.The events unfolded Tuesday at Oxford High School when, law enforcement officials say, the 15-year-old shot at people in a school hallway, firing more than 30 shots at people and through classroom doors. Three people died Tuesday and another passed away at a hospital Wednesday.

Seven others — six students and a teacher — were wounded, Oakland County Sheriff Michael Bouchard said.

The county’s top prosecutor addressed the terrorism charge.

“There is no playbook about how to prosecute a school shooting and candidly, I wish I’d never even had — it didn’t occur so I wouldn’t have to consider it, but when we sat down, I wanted to make sure all of the victims were represented in the charges that we filed against this individual,” Oakland County Prosecutor Karen McDonald told CNN. “If that’s not terrorism, I don’t know what is.”She said there is a lot of digital evidence in the case — video and things on social media.”But you probably don’t even need to see that to know how terrifying it is to be in close proximity of another student shooting and killing fellow students. I mean, it’s terror,” she added.

“Like every other child that was in that building, and I address that about the terrorism charge, we must have an appropriate consequence that speaks for the victims that were not killed or injured but also, they were affected, how do they go back to school?”She said many students can’t eat or sleep.”Their parents are sleeping next to them and we shouldn’t ignore that,” she told CNN. “There are obviously four children who were murdered and many others injured but over 1,000 were also victimized as well.”At Crumbley’s arraignment Wednesday, prosecutor Marc Keast said Crumbley came out of a school bathroom and started firing. Crumbley walked down the hall at a “methodical pace” and fired more shots.This continued for another four or five minutes and he went to another bathroom, Keast said. When deputies arrived, Crumbley put the gun down and surrendered, the prosecutor said.The judge entered a plea of not guilty per his attorney’s request.

Michigan law defines an act of terrorism as a “willful and deliberate act that is all of the following:””An act that would be a violent felony under the laws of this state, whether or not committed in this state.”An act that the person knows or has reason to know is dangerous to human life.”An act that is intended to intimidate or coerce a civilian population or influence or affect the conduct of government or a unit of government through intimidation or coercion.”The criminal complaint against Crumbley refers to the third condition and says the act was committed against the Oxford High School community.Charging an accused school shooter with terrorism is rare. In 2018, an Ocala, Florida student who shot through a door and wounded another student, was charged with terrorism and later pleaded no contest to that count and other charges.

That incident occurred two months after gunman Nikolas Cruz shot more than 30 people as he moved for more than 10 minutes through Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida.Cruz was charged with 34 counts of premeditated murder and attempted murder. He did not face a terrorism charge. He recently pleaded guilty and is awaiting sentencing.

Ethan Crumbley Parents:  James and Jennifer Crumbley

 James Crumbley  and Jennifer Crumbley

Ethan Crumbley parents have been charged with involuntary manslaughter for buying their son a 9mm Sig Sauer which was used in the tragic school shooting at Oxford High School leaving four students dead and many more injured. Apparently the parents,  James and Jennifer Crumbley, have fled to avoid being arrested

Authorities have said their son brought a gun to school on Tuesday and methodically fired at fleeing students. Four were killed and seven others injured, including a teacher..

Details of what led up to the rampage were revealed Friday during a court hearing and related news conference held by Oakland County Prosecutor Karen McDonald.

She said James Crumbley purchased a 9mm Sig Sauer SP 2022 used in the shooting at a gun store in Oxford on Nov. 26. She said a store employee confirmed Ethan Crumbley was with his father at the time.

She said social media posts by the teen that day show the handgun along with the caption: “Just got my new beauty today.” The next day, McDonald said, one of Jennifer Crumbley’s social media posts read: “Mom and son day testing out his new Christmas present.” 

The day before the shooting, a teacher at the high school observed the teen searching ammunition on his cell phone during class and she reported it to school officials, McDonald said. Jennifer Crumbley was contacted through voicemail and email about her son’s web search. McDonald said school officials received no response from either parent.

McDonald said Jennifer Crumbley exchanged text messages with her son about the incident that day, writing: “LOL, I’m not mad at you. You have to learn not to get caught.”

The next day, the day of the shooting, the teen’s teacher saw an alarming note on his desk, McDonald said. The note contained a drawing of a semiautomatic handgun pointing at the words: “The thoughts won’t stop, help me.” She said it also contained a drawing of a bullet with the words “blood everywhere” and a drawing of a person who appeared to be shot and bleeding.

Further down on the drawing, McDonald said, were the words: “My life is useless,” and “The world is dead.”

James and Jennifer Crumbley were summoned to the school that morning and Ethan Crumbley was brought to the office with his backpack, McDonald said. She said the drawing, by that point, had been altered. She said the parents were shown the drawing and told they had to get their son into counseling within 48 hours. 

“Both James and Jennifer Crumbley failed to ask their son if he had his gun with him or where his gun was located and failed to inspect his backpack for the presence of the gun, which he had with him,” McDonald said.

She said the parents resisted the idea of their son leaving school at that time  and they left without him.

“He was returned to the classroom,” McDonald said.

She said that once news broke that there was an active shooter at the high school, Jennifer Crumbley texted her son at 1:22 p.m.: “Ethan, don’t do it.”

Then at 1:37 p.m., McDonald said, James Crumbley called 911 reporting that a gun was missing from his house and he believed his son may be the shooter. McDonald said the investigation revealed that the gun had been stored unlocked in a drawer in James and Jennifer Crumbley’s bedroom.

Ethan Crumbley was charged Wednesday as an adult with terrorism and multiple counts of first-degree murder, assault with intent to murder and gun crimes and could face up to life in prison.

The high school sophomore is accused of killing four students — Hana St. Juliana, 14; Tate Myre, 16; Madisyn Baldwin, 17, and Justin Shilling, 17 — and injuring seven others during the mass shooting.

During Ethan Crumbley’s arraignment on Wednesday, Lt. Tim Willis of the Oakland County Sheriff’s Office said videos were recovered from the teen’s cellphone, including one “made by him the night before the incident wherein he talked about shooting and killing students the next day at Oxford High School.” He said a journal, detailing the teen’s desire to kill students, also was recovered.

Attorney Scott Kozak, who represented Ethan Crumbley during the arraignment but said he won’t be involved in the case moving forward, declined to comment after the teen’s arraignment on Wednesday. Ethan Crumbley is being held without bond at the Oakland County Jail.

During the hearing Wednesday, Assistant Prosecutor Marc Keast said school surveillance video shows Ethan Crumbley went into a bathroom just before 12:51 p.m. Tuesday and came out a minute or two later with a gun. Keast said the teen “methodically and deliberately walked down a hallway, aiming the firearm at students and firing.”

Keast said the teen planned the shooting and “brought the handgun that day with the intent to murder as many students as he could.”

The charges to James and Jennifer Crumbley come after it was revealed the handgun Ethan Crumbley is accused of using in the shooting Tuesday, a 9mm Sig Sauer SP 2022 pistol, was purchased four days earlier on Black Friday by James Crumbley. Other evidence, including social media posts and text messages were cited by Oakland County Prosecutor Karen McDonald as evidence for the charges

Four students died and seven other people were injured in the mass shooting. 

Ethan Crumbley faces four counts of first-degree murder, terrorism, and firearm possession charges and was charged as an adult.

Shelia Keen Warren The Killer Clown Love Triangle

shelia keen warren photos

The bizarre story of Shelia Keen Warren and the Killer Clown love triangle will leave you shaking your head as this story is way out there. Way back in 1990 Shelia Keen Warren was in love with Michael Warren but unfortunately for Shelia he was married to a woman named Marlene Warren. Now Shelia Keen Warren decided the best way to get rid of Marlene was to dress up as a clown, knock on the Warren’s front door and when Marlene answered the door she was fatally shot.

The murder would go unsolved for decades as the police believed from almost the beginning that Shelia Keen Warren was responsible for the murder of Marlene Warren however they could not prove it. Thankfully the DNA tests would greatly approve over the years and eventually police were able to gain enough evidence for Shelia Keen Warren to be placed under arrest and charged with murder in Florida.

Now in case you have not noticed Shelia Keen would become Shelia Keen Warren in 2002 when she would marry Michael Warren. They may have been married sooner but Michael Warren spent four years in prison on fraud charges.

Shelia Keen Warren has been in custody in Florida since 2017 as COVID has messed up the court system and her trial has been postponed yet again until 2022. There is talk that Shelia Keen Warren is facing the death penalty but I somehow doubt she will receive it

April 2023 – Shelia Keen-Warren Pleads Guilty To 2nd Degree murder

Shelia Keen Warren More News

Twenty-seven years after a clown carrying flowers and two balloons shot a woman to death at her front door, Florida authorities announced an arrest in one of the more bizarre cold case investigations in a state known for bizarre crimes.

Sheila Keen Warren, 54, was arrested without incident in Washington County, Virginia, on a charge of first-degree murder with use of a firearm in the killing of Marlene Warren, 40 — her current husband’s previous wife — in 1990, officials said Tuesday.

“Any murder’s horrific. It doesn’t matter whether you’re wearing a clown costume or not,” Palm Beach County sheriff’s Sgt. Richard McAfee said at a news conference Tuesday.

“Taking another person’s life is a horrific incident,” McAfee said. “It just took us 27 years to bring closure to the victim’s family. Murder cases never go away.”

The Washington County Sheriff’s Office said Warren was arrested in Abingdon, Virginia, about 5 miles from the Tennessee state line.

Warren was arraigned Wednesday morning in Washington County General District Court and waived extradition, officials said. She was set to be moved to Florida from the Southwest Virginia Regional Jail.

Warren had been a suspect in the murder almost from the beginning, but prosecutors never had enough evidence to charge her until new technology allowed them to retest DNA evidence after the cold case was reopened in 2014.

Marlene Warren was shot in the face when she answered the front door of her home in Wellington, near West Palm Beach, and was confronted by a brown-eyed woman carrying balloons and wearing a clown costume and an orange clown wig on May 26, 1990, authorities said.

One of the balloons said “You’re the greatest!” and the other had Snow White painted on it, according to news coverage at the time.

“This is the strangest thing I’ve seen in all my 19 years in law enforcement,” Bob Ferrell, then a spokesman for the Palm Beach County sheriff’s office, told the Fort Lauderdale Sun-Sentinel newspaper the day after the murder.

“She went to the door, and there was somebody wearing a clown suit and a clown mask,” Ferrell said. “As she went to take the flowers and balloons, the clown shot her. As far as I know, nothing was said.”

Initially, suspicion quickly focused on Michael Warren, the victim’s husband, as friends and family said the couple was having marital problems.

Then the murder investigation led police to unrelated evidence of wrongdoing at Michael Warren’s car rental agency, and in 1992 he was sentenced to prison on 43 counts of odometer tampering, grand theft and racketeering, The Palm Beach Post reported at the time.

Michael Warren served three years in prison, and, in 1997, he vanished. But he re-emerged in 2002, marrying Sheila Keen — the same Sheila Keen Warren who’s now charged with his ex-wife’s murder. Sheila had worked for Michael repossessing cars.

Washington County Sheriff Fred Newman said Michael Warren was present when his wife was arrested, but he would give no further details.

“Thousands of man-hours have been put in in the last 27 years,” Newman said. “We’re more than glad to be able to help to bring this to a successful conclusion.”

Detectives said they were told as early as four months after the murder that Michael and Sheila had been having an affair and that Warren had paid rent for Keen’s apartment after she separated from her first husband.

Little information about the couple’s recent lives was immediately available, but the Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Office said Michael and Sheila Warren were running a restaurant in Tennessee when authorities arrived to arrest her.

No restaurant could be found in either Warren’s name in Virginia or Tennessee business registries

Christopher Belter Teen Rapist Gets No Jail Time

Christopher Belter

Christopher Belter is a teen rapist from New York State who had pleaded guilty to multiple counts of sex charges however what happened the day of his sentencing has caught many off guard. When the judge was sentencing Christopher Belter for the crimes of attempted first-degree sexual abuse, third-degree rape and two counts of second-degree sexual abuse involving four teenage girls aged 15 to 16.

Christopher Belter received not a single day in jail instead was sentenced to eight years of probation and must register as a sex offender. Of course the internet is in rage as this rapist pretty much got a way with a slap on the wrist. The judge who sentenced him thankfully is retiring very soon as he just sent a horrible message. Thankfully any future employer who researches Christopher Belter online is going to see the monster behind the mask.

Christopher Belter More News

One of the victims of a New York man who pleaded guilty to raping and sexually abusing four teenage girls and was sentenced to just eight years of probation has a warning: “He will offend again.”

Christopher Belter, 20, was facing up to eight years in jail after pleading guilty to third-degree rape, attempted sexual abuse and two counts of second-degree sexual abuse, but Niagara County Judge Matthew Murphy sentenced him to eight years of probation because he thought “incarceration isn’t appropriate.”

“I’m not ashamed to say that I actually prayed over what is the appropriate sentence in this case because there was great pain. There was great harm. There were multiple crimes committed in the case,” Murphy said, according to WKBW. “It seems to me that a sentence that involves incarceration or partial incarceration isn’t appropriate, so I am going to sentence you to probation.”

Belter must also register as a sex offender.

One of the victims – identified as MM in court filings – ran out of the courtroom and threw up after hearing the sentence.

“I completely broke down. It was as if I was being victimized all over again,” she told CBS News.

She said probation was an invitation for Belter to rape again.

“It’s just going to make him more comfortable doing this in the future,” MM said. “This is a pattern. He will offend again.”

She was 16 years old when Belter, 17 at the time, assaulted her and three other teenage girls during parties at his home in an upscale neighborhood of Lewiston, New York.

Belter’s home was allegedly dubbed the “party house” because of the liberal use of marijuana, alcohol, and Adderall, according to the Washington Post and New York Times.

The assaults took place over a 19-month period between February 2017 and August 2018, according to authorities. 

MM also dismissed claims by Belter’s attorneys that he was remorseful.

“I don’t believe it for one second,” she told CBS News. “He was saying whatever it takes for him to get his best outcome and it worked. … I will have to live with this for the rest of my life, knowing that he’s walking the streets and that another girl can be a victim of his any day now. It’s terrifying.”

She told the station that she still has nightmares about what happened and will need extensive therapy.

“I don’t think any of the victims or myself will find that closure until we know that he’s locked up, and the judge failed us there. He victimized us all over again. He is putting us through hell.”

She said the sentencing could discourage other victims of sexual assault from coming forward and testifying.

“If I were to be someone viewing this right now, looking at this case as a victim of rape or sexual assault – I mean, I would think what’s the point in coming forward?” she said. “Why put yourself through the painful experience if testifying when there’s not going to be a good outcome?”

Belter is due back in court on Dec. 3, for a hearing on his sex offender classification status.

Murphy plans to retire next month when he turns 70, the mandatory retirement age for judges in New York. But he is now facing calls to resign immediately.

John Bellocchio, part of the Survivors Network of those Abused by Priests (SNAP) filed a complaint against Murphy, according to WKBW.

“I think the judge could restore some faith in the justice system if he chose today as his last day,” Bellocchio said, according to the station. “The purpose of our court system is to be equitable and fair, and to make sure the punishment fits the crime.”
