Kristen Wolf Pleads Guilty To 2 Murders

Kristen Wolf

Kristen Wolf is a woman from Indiana who just plead guilty to two counts of murder and in exchange prosecutors took the death penalty off of the table. According to court documents Kristen Wolf, who wanted to be a serial killer, would stab to death Victoria Cook and Dylan Dickover and attempted to murder yet another person. None of the victims had ever met Kristen Wolf before. Due to the plea deal Kristen Wolf will spend the rest of her life in prison which is exactly where she belongs.

A plea agreement was offered to a woman behind a brutal stabbing attack that left two dead and one injured in 2020.

Under the agreement, Kristen Wolf will plead guilty to two counts of murder, attempted murder and attempted battery. The plea agreement calls for a 100-year sentence. 

Her sentencing is set for January 2023

13News learned from court documents the victims told police when they answered their front door, a woman they didn’t know launched a vicious attack.

It happened as three people visited a couple of roommates at their far-west side home in Indianapolis on May 11, 2020.

When IMPD officers arrived at Carriage House West, they entered the back door of the unit and found a gruesome crime scene. They described it as having blood in the living room, kitchen and on several walls of the first floor of the apartment.

One of five people inside, who was upstairs, told police he came down after hearing noise downstairs.

In court documents, he explained finding a woman he did not recognize with strawberry-blond hair who was stabbing people downstairs. He ran back upstairs and asked a female tenant if she had any kind of weapon he could use to defend them against the attacker.

By the time the officers arrived, the woman with the knife had left. Officers found Victoria Cook dead from stab wounds. Dylan Dickover died at a hospital and a second woman injured was rushed to surgery.

The victims told police about a cap they believe belonged to the woman that was left behind. They described her as wearing some type of work uniform.

Court documents also show the hat was collected by crime lab evidence technicians and that it contained a patch labeled as Indiana Department of Correction, along with the handwritten name “Wolf.”

The cap also contained blood on it along with other possible DNA evidence. That led them to corrections officer Kristen Wolf’s job at Madison Correctional Facility, which houses about 600 women under minimum security.

Court documents show detectives found Wolf’s alleged manifesto, which explained she got inspiration from serial killers but didn’t want to kill someone she knew

The same document contained information believed to be a written will. There was also information indicating that Wolf was not planning to die but was prepared for it.

The papers were dated May 11, 2020, which is the same day of the murders.

After her arrest at Madison Correctional, Wolf was transported to Indianapolis. During a brief interview prior to transport, Wolf denied being in Indianapolis on May 11.

Although the victims inside the apartment during the deadly attack insist they don’t know Kristen Wolf, police believe they both have connections to a man who reportedly trains women how to use knives to kill people. The preliminary investigation shows that one of the victims previously dated a man who Wolf was dating, according to one of Wolf’s neighbors.

Anderson Lee Aldrich Facing 305 Charges From Club Q Shooting

Anderson Lee Aldrich,

Anderson Lee Aldrich the alleged Club Q shooting that took place a few weeks ago that left 5 people dead made an appearance in a Colorado court today where it was announced that he is facing 305 charges related to the shooting. According to police reports Anderson Lee Aldrich would enter the Club Q and immediately began to fire killing five people and injuring others. Thankfully Club Q members were able to get the weapon away from him and restrained him until police arrived. Anderson Lee Aldrich is facing five counts of murder, attempted murder, assault charges among the 305 criminal charges.

Anderson Lee Aldrich More News

The suspect accused of a mass shooting at a Colorado Springs LGBTQ bar and nightclub last month was formally charged with 305 counts Tuesday, including hate crimes and murder.

Anderson Lee Aldrich, 22, who identifies as non-binary according to defense court filings, is accused of fatally shooting five people and injuring 17 others at Club Q on Nov. 19. Aldrich had been preliminarily charged with five counts of murder and five counts of committing a bias-motivated crime causing bodily injury during a Nov. 24 hearing and has been held without bail.

Aldrich is represented by Joseph Archambault, a chief trial deputy with the state public defender’s office. Lawyers from the office do not comment on cases to the media.

Colorado Springs Police say Aldrich walked into Club Q just before midnight with an AR-15-style long rifle and opened fire, killing Daniel Aston, 28; Derrick Rump, 38; Kelly Loving, 40; Ashley Paugh, 35; and Raymond Green Vance, 22. Bar patrons subdued Aldrich, who was hospitalized for several days before being transferred to the El Paso County Jail.

Aldrich was previously arrested in 2021 after their mother reported that they threatened her with a homemade bomb and other weapons, according to police. Authorities said at the time that no explosives were found and no formal charges were pursued, and the record was wiped because of a “collateral relief” law in Colorado, which allows those accused of a crime a chance to move on in an arrest that never resulted in a conviction.

Michael Avenatti Gets 14 Years For Stealing Millions

Michael Avenatti

Former celebrity lawyer Michael Avenatti has been sentenced to fourteen years in prison and ordered to pay $11,000,000 to clients he stole from. According to court documents Michael Avenatti would plead guilty to four counts of wire fraud for each client he stole from and one count of endeavoring to obstruct the administration of the Internal Revenue Code. Now the former lawyer is going to spend up to the next fourteen years in Federal Prison. Of course Michael Avenatti is already in prison as he was convicted of trying to extort Nike and stealing money from Stormy Daniels who was given a book advance regarding her relationship with former President Donald Trump.

Michael Avenatti More News

Disgraced attorney Michael Avenatti was sentenced Monday to 14 years in prison and ordered to pay nearly $11 million in restitution for embezzling millions of dollars from four of his clients and obstruction.

Avenatti pleaded guilty earlier this year to four counts of wire fraud for each client he stole from and one count of endeavoring to obstruct the administration of the Internal Revenue Code. Prosecutors said he obstructed the IRS’ effort to collect $5 million in unpaid payroll taxes for Tully’s Coffee.

The sentence handed down by federal district Judge James Selna will begin after Avenatti completes a five-year prison term he’s currently serving after being convicted in two separate trials in New York.

Selna also ordered Michael Avenatti to pay over $10 million in restitution to four clients and to the IRS.

“Michael Avenatti was a corrupt lawyer who claimed he was fighting for the little guy. In fact, he only cared about his own selfish interests,” US Attorney Martin Estrada said in a statement following the sentencing. “He stole millions of dollars from his clients – all to finance his extravagant lifestyle that included a private jet and race cars. As a result of his illegal acts, he has lost his right to practice law in California, and now he will serve a richly deserved prison sentence.”

Dean Steward, an attorney for Avenatti, said in a statement to CNN that the sentence “was overly harsh and uncalled for,” adding that his client described it in court as being “off the charts.”

“When compared with similar high-profile cases, the unfairness is glaring,” Steward said.

Monday’s sentence represents the latest episode in an extraordinary years-long legal drama surrounding Avenatti, whose representation of Stormy Daniels, the adult film star who alleged she had an affair with former President Donald Trump years before he ran for office, made the pugnacious attorney a household name.

“Avenatti’s fraud was egregious, and the court plainly meant to send a strong message. But a 14-year sentence is extraordinarily long given all the circumstances,” said CNN senior legal analyst and former federal prosecutor Elie Honig.

The prison sentence Avenatti is currently serving was given after he was convicted for attempting to extort millions of dollars from Nike and stealing nearly $300,000 from a book advance from Daniels, his then-client. (Trump has denied having an affair with Daniels.)

Avenatti had faced a statutory maximum of 83 years in prison in the California case.

Earlier this year, the Justice Department dropped the 31 remaining fraud counts Avenatti was facing after he agreed to plead guilty to the handful of charges. Federal prosecutors said in a court filing at the time that they wouldn’t move ahead with the remaining 31 counts of wire fraud, bank fraud and tax-related charges because the judge could consider those allegations when he eventually sentenced Avenatti.

In pleading guilty earlier this year, Avenatti admitted to stealing millions of dollars from clients, including $4 million from a client with major disabilities. According to the indictment, after Avenatti negotiated settlements for the clients that required payment to go to them, he would lie to the clients about the terms of the settlements, instead depositing the funds into attorney trust accounts he controlled. He would then embezzle and misappropriate those funds, according to the indictment, and to prevent discovery of his scheme, he would tell clients the settlement proceeds hadn’t yet been paid, among other tactics.

Joseph Kennedy Charged With 4 Murders

Joseph Kennedy murder

Joseph Kennedy is a man from Oklahoma who has just been charged with four murders. According to police reports Joseph Kennedy believed that Mark Chastain, 32, Billy Chastain, 30, Mike Sparks, 32, and Alex Stevens, 29,  were stealing from him so he would shoot and kill the four men before dismembering their bodies and throwing them into a river. Joseph Kennedy who apparently has confessed to the four murders has been charged with four counts of first-degree murder.

Joseph Kennedy More News

Authorities on Monday announced formal charges against Joseph Lloyd Kennedy II in the October case of four men found shot and dismembered in a nearby river.

Joseph Kennedy, 67, was charged Monday with four counts of first-degree murder in the deaths of Mark Chastain, 32; Billy Chastain, 30; Mike Sparks, 32; and Alex Stevens, 29, all of Okmulgee. Joseph Kennedy is being held in the Okmulgee County Detention Center without bond and faces the death penalty or life imprisonment with or without the possibility of parole.

“This was a very lengthy investigation, and it continues as we speak,” Okmulgee County District Attorney Carol Iski said during a news conference Monday afternoon. “Countless man-hours have been invested and dedicated to this investigation, and I applaud the District 25 Violent Crime Task Force for (its) tireless efforts to bring this case to justice.”

Joseph Kennedy had been a “person of interest” since he fled Oklahoma after the men’s bodies were discovered. According to an arresting affidavit filed Monday, Kennedy allegedly told a friend “they were stealing from him” and that he killed them and cut them up.

During the news conference Monday, Iski outlined Kennedy’s alleged actions in the days after the four men were reported missing.

Here is a look at the timeline, as reflected in affidavits filed Nov. 15 and Dec. 5:

Oct. 9

  • 3 p.m.: On the day prosecutors believe the shooting deaths occurred, Kennedy is seen parking his PT Cruiser across the street from his scrapyard at a Coke plant.
  • 5:37 p.m.: Mark Chastain’s phone records indicate he arrives at the scrapyard.
  • 6:22 p.m.: About a dozen “high powered rifle shots” are reported by a deputy sheriff who lives in the area.
  • 7:59 p.m.: Video shows Kennedy leaving the scrapyard, wearing a different shirt, and leaving the area in his PT Cruiser.
  • 10:14 p.m.: Video shows Kennedy returning to the scrapyard, again parking at the Coke plant, this time driving a Toyota Tundra.
  • 11:15 p.m.: Kennedy is seen walking back to the Tundra and leaving the area.

Oct. 10

  • 1:19 a.m.: Kennedy returns to the scrapyard, again parking at the Coke plant.
  • 2:14 a.m.: Kennedy again leaves the scrapyard, still in the Tundra.
  • 2:44 a.m.: Kennedy returns to the scrapyard, again parking at the Coke plant.
  • 4:12 a.m.: Kennedy returns to the truck, drives it north a short distance and pulls into a vacant lot that borders his scrapyard. The lot is referred to as Pine Field.
  • 4:54 a.m.: The truck is seen returning to the Coke plant before turning around and going back to Pine Field.
  • 6:22 a.m.: A “vehicle consistent with the Tundra pickup” is seen leaving Pine Field going west on Sharp Road.

Oct. 14

  • Four bodies are discovered in the Deep Fork River after being seen from a bridge on Sharp Road.
  • Officers find personal items belonging to Mark Chastain in Pine Field with what is believed to be blood.
  • Prosecutors say Kennedy parked his PT Cruiser behind a warehouse in Morris and sometime later takes the Tundra belonging to a friend.

Oct. 15

  • 3 a.m.: Kennedy arrives at the home of a friend in Gore, possessing a bicycle belonging to one of the victims. The bicycle was identified by the victim’s family. Kennedy tells the friend the men “were stealing from him” and that he killed them and cut them up. He then leaves her residence

Joseph Kennedy was arrested on a stolen vehicle complaint on Oct. 18 in Daytona Beach Shores, Florida, after the Tundra, reported stolen by the owner, was identified by an automated plate reader on a deputy sheriff’s patrol car.

There, he was placed on a suicide watch because he told arresting officers he intended to jump off a hotel balcony in Daytona Beach, a charging affidavit showed.

Lab technicians and state investigators told police they had found a “partial DNA profile” from the blood swabs of personal items matching that of Billy Chastain’s body investigators collected during autopsy, affidavits also showed.

Florida authorities ultimately dropped the stolen vehicle charge against Joseph Kennedy, which cleared the way for his extradition back to Oklahoma on Nov. 12, where he was booked into the Okmulgee County Detention Center.

“I understand this is a very high-profile case in great interest to many,” Iski said. “However, it’s a case that needs to be tried in a court of law and subject to the rules of evidence, not in the court of public opinion.”

Iski said she was unable to provide further details regarding the case but that more information would be disclosed during the course of the prosecution
