It's About Crime

Growing up, Triston faced a harsh reality. He was raised in the foster care system while grappling with his mother's drug addiction and his own mental health struggles. Life felt like a constant uphill battle, and by the summer of 2023, he had reached his breaking point. On July 14, 2023, overwhelmed by pain and isolation, Triston sat alone on the floor with a gun in his mouth. In that moment of desperation, he whispered a prayer, asking God for a sign — anything to stop him. But the silence that followed was deafening. "I said, ‘If this isn't what you want me to do... if there's something else for me, send me a sign. Stop me,’” Triston recalled in an interview with Inside Edition Digital's Andrea Swindall. “And it felt like the most empty silence I've ever felt in my life. The wind stopped blowing. Everything got really quiet. I took that as a no.” He pulled the trigger. But against all odds, Triston woke up in a hospital bed — blind and severely disfigure...

A suburban Victorian mum is standing trial over allegations she poisoned several of her estranged husband’s relatives with death cap mushrooms during a home-cooked lunch — an incident that resulted in three deaths and has drawn international attention. The case against 50-year-old Erin Patterson commenced this week in the Supreme Court of Victoria and is expected to run for approximately six weeks. Patterson is accused of serving a beef Wellington laced with death cap mushrooms — among the most toxic in the world — at a lunch held in July 2023 at her home in Leongatha, a small town of fewer than 6,000 residents located roughly 135 kilometres south-east of Melbourne. Prosecutors allege that Patterson, who was separated from her husband Simon Patterson but reportedly on civil terms with him, invited his parents, as well as his aunt and uncle, to an adults-only lunch under the pretence of discussing her medical issues. Simon declined the invitation. All four guests reportedly began showin...

A domestic violence suspect was shot by police after attempting to carjack a vehicle on a busy California interstate, according to body camera footage released by the Lathrop Police Department. The incident began on January 27, when officers responded to a 911 call reporting that Juan Miguel Valdez, 40, had allegedly threatened to kill a woman he had nearly killed the night before. The audio recording of the call revealed the severity of the threat and prompted an immediate police response. Upon arrival, officers encountered Valdez, who fled the scene in a vehicle, leading authorities on a high-speed pursuit from a residential neighborhood onto Interstate 5. During the chase, one of the tires on Valdez’s vehicle failed, forcing him to abandon it and attempt to hijack another car. Body camera footage shows Valdez clinging to the side of a moving vehicle, grasping the driver’s side door in a desperate effort to stop the car. As the vehicle slowed and pulled over to the shoulder, Valdez r...

 An Ohio woman was arrested after police discovered her pet raccoon holding a meth pipe in the driver’s seat during a routine traffic stop — an incident authorities are calling a "strange encounter on patrol." The bizarre event unfolded around 7:15 p.m. Monday when Officer Austin Branham of the Springfield Township Police Department pulled over a vehicle on South Arlington Road. The car's registered owner, later identified as 55-year-old Victoria Vidal of Akron, had a suspended license and an active warrant. According to a police statement, Vidal was detained without incident. But things quickly took an unusual turn. “As Officer Branham returned to the vehicle, he observed a raccoon named Chewy sitting in the driver’s seat with a meth pipe in its mouth,” the department said. “Chewy had somehow gotten hold of a glass methamphetamine pipe, prompting a more thorough search of the vehicle.” Authorities confirmed that Chewy is a domesticated pet raccoon and that Vidal posse...

A road rage dispute in Pennsylvania took an unexpected and disturbing turn when a woman was filmed defecating on another driver's car, according to local authorities and reports. Christina Solometo, 44, was identified as the woman captured in the viral video, which was recorded by a bystander and shared on Instagram.

A grand theft suspect died Friday morning after crashing into a dump truck during a high-speed police chase on the 210 Freeway in La Crescenta. The pursuit began shortly before 11 a.m. when Ventura County sheriff’s deputies responded to a report of an ongoing theft at a Target store in Camarillo. The suspect, driving a black hatchback, fled the scene, leading authorities on a dangerous pursuit that spanned the San Fernando Valley. According to officials, the suspect reached speeds exceeding 100 mph, weaving through surface streets and freeways before heading eastbound on the 210 Freeway. Witnesses described the vehicle’s speed as "insanely fast," with one onlooker stating, “I knew something bad was going to happen if he didn’t ease off the gas.” The chase ended near the Ocean View Boulevard onramp when the suspect’s vehicle slammed into the rear of a moving dump truck. The collision mangled the car and brought the pursuit to a violent stop in the middle lanes. “It sounded lik...

Two former contestants from My Kitchen Rules can now be publicly identified after one of them pleaded guilty to multiple assaults involving children. Claudean Bernadette Uamaki-Mu, 54, and Anthony Michael Mu, who both appeared on the Channel 7 reality cooking show in 2023, were previously shielded by a non-publication order issued by Richlands Magistrates Court. That order has now been lifted following Uamaki-Mu's guilty plea on Wednesday. Uamaki-Mu admitted to six counts of common assault and received a 12-month good behaviour bond with a $1,000 recognisance. No conviction was recorded. Court proceedings began at 9 a.m., though a delay followed while police attempted to amend the charges. After a prolonged case conference that continued through the lunch break, prosecutors chose to proceed with six charges and withdrew the rest. Acting Magistrate Michael Quinn described the assaults as “extremely serious,” detailing several disturbing incidents. These included pulling a child’s ha...

A homeowner’s security footage captured a controversial moment in Westbrook, Queensland, back in 2022, when a Toowoomba Regional Council worker appeared to lure a cat from a driveway—before issuing a $280 fine for a roaming pet. The video, recorded on the property of Julie and Steven Stephens, shows a council officer in high-visibility uniform approaching the driveway with a clipboard. Off camera, two cats can be heard or seen reacting to her presence. The worker then stepped backward toward the street, appearing to draw one of the cats out to the footpath. Once the cat followed, she picked it up and walked to her vehicle across the road. Steven Stephens, who watched the event unfold on his security system, rushed outside to intervene. He managed to retrieve the cat before it was impounded—but not before being slapped with a fine. The incident was one of several disputes the couple had with council officers over their pets—eight dachshunds and at least two cats. Before leaving, the wor...
