An embalmer at a Texas funeral home allegedly cut off a dead man’s penis and stuffed it in his mouth after learning he was a registered sex offender, cops said.

Amber Laudermilk, 34, is accused of taking a scalpel to 58-year-old Charles Roy Rodriguez’s groin while she was overseeing the convicted sex perp’s body at the Memorial Mortuary & Crematory in Houston last month.

She allegedly stabbed him twice before castrating him and shoving the remains down his throat, according to police.

Laudermilk carried out the alleged mutilation in front of an embalming student, authorities said.

“You didn’t see anything,” she allegedly warned the student just moments after mutilating the corpse.

When questioned by another employee about Rodriguez’s “disfigured” groin, Laudermilk shot back that he had “a lot going on with him,” charging documents state.

Rodriguez died of natural causes at a Houston hospital in January, cops said.

He was listed on the Texas Department of Public Safety sex offender registry after he was convicted of sexually assaulting a 31-year-old woman in 2001 and given a decade of probation.

Kimberly Sullivan, 56, was taken into custody on Wednesday, March 12, after her 32-year-old stepson told police he started a house fire at their shared residence to escape decades of her alleged abuse.

The suspect, of Waterbury, Connecticut, has since been charged with assault in the first degree, kidnapping in the second degree, unlawful restraint in the first degree, cruelty to persons and reckless endangerment in the first degree, a statement shared by the Waterbury Police Department on Facebook confirmed.

Per NBC Connecticut, the alleged victim weighed only 68 pounds when he set fire to the house on Feb. 17, citing officials.

Tom Pannone — who was the principal at the alleged victim's former school, Barnard Elementary School in Waterbury, which has since closed — told the outlet of the alleged abuse, "We knew it. We reported it. Not a damn thing was done. That's the tragedy of the whole thing.

A babysitter in Kansas made a shocking discovery while attempting to prove to one of the children she was looking after that there wasn't a "monster" hiding underneath the bed.

On Monday, March 24, at around 10:30 p.m. local time, authorities responded to "a reported disturbance call" at the 2000 block of Patton Road, which is just outside the city of Great Bend, the Barton County Sheriff's Office confirmed in a Facebook post on March 26.

"Upon arrival the deputies contacted the victim who stated she was babysitting children at the residence. When putting the children to bed, one child complained there was a 'monster' under their bed," police said.

"When the victim attempted to show the child there was nothing under the bed, she came face-to-face with a male suspect who was hiding there. An altercation ensued with the babysitter and one child was knocked over in the struggle. The suspect then fled the scene before deputies arrived," the post added.

Martin Villalobos Junior, 27, has since been arrested and transported to Barton County Jail, officers confirmed. The post stated that the suspect had once lived at the residence but there was "currently a protection from abuse order issued against him to stay away from the property."

Despite being unable to locate Villalobos Junior after searching the area on the evening he was found under the bed, officers continued to look for him the following morning.

"The suspect was seen in the 2000 block of Patton Road at which point he attempted to flee from law enforcement. After a short foot pursuit, the suspect was captured," the police post stated.

Officers confirmed the suspect had been "booked on requested charges of aggravated kidnapping, aggravated burglary, aggravated battery, child endangerment, felony obstruction of a law enforcement officer and violation of a protection from abuse order."

Villalobos Junior is "being held in lieu of a $500,000 bond," police said.

A doctor in Hawaii is under arrest after police say he struck his wife with a rock and tried to push her off a cliff — all because she reportedly did not want to take a picture with him.

The victim, who has not been publicly named, survived the Monday, March 24, attack in Oahu, Hawaii, but was in critical condition, the Honolulu Police Department said in a statement.

Law enforcement officials arrested Gerhardt Konig, an anesthesiologist in Maui by way of Pittsburgh, Penn., after a brief pursuit later on Monday evening.

Police allege Konig, 46, attacked his wife, 36, after she reportedly refused to take a photo with him, Hawaii News Now reported, citing police.

In response, Konig allegedly attempted to throw her off a hiking trail and struck her in the head with a rock, per police.

The woman suffered multiple injuries to her head and face as a result, Hawaii News Now reported, citing Honolulu Emergency Services.

During the incident, Konig also allegedly attempted to poke the woman with two syringes, Hawaii News Now reported, citing law enforcement sources.

The couple were at the Pali Lookout area, which stands at an elevation of 1,200 feet with “winds so strong that one can lean against the wall of wind,” according to the Division of State Parks.

It wasn’t immediately clear how far the woman fell.

Konig is a partner at The Anesthesia Medical Group in Maui, according to his Linkedin profile. Per Hawaii News Now, he was suspended from the practice pending investigation.

He is a former Attending Anesthesiologist at a women's hospital under the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine. His profile on the university's website was not available on Tuesday.

Charges are pending in the case.

Idaho Gov. Brad Little signed his name on a bill Wednesday making Idaho the only state in the US to have a firing squad designated as the preferred execution method for capital punishment, beginning next year.

The governor’s action comes less than a week after Brad Sigmon, 67, of South Carolina, was executed by way of a firing squad for killing his ex-girlfriend’s parents with a baseball bat in 2001.

Sigmon was pronounced dead nearly three minutes after being shot by three volunteer prison employees last Friday – a method used for the first time in 15 years in the US.

The Idaho Statesman reported that Idaho has nine prisoners on death row, though the death penalty has not been carried out in the state in over a dozen years.

Last year, the state was unable to execute Thomas Eugene Creech, one of the longest-serving death row inmates in the U.S. Medical personnel administering the lethal injection failed to establish an IV line despite trying for roughly an hour.

The bill’s tracking sheet shows that over two-thirds of the Republican-controlled legislature supported the measure, which, along with making death by firing squad the preferred method, also kept lethal injection as the state’s backup method.

Little approved a law in 2023 to add execution by firing squad as the state’s backup execution method, though at the time he said his preferred method was by lethal injection.

Idaho, then became the fifth state in the country to legalize the practice, following Utah, Oklahoma, South Carolina, and Mississippi.

This time around, bill sponsor Rep. Bruce Skaug, who previously pushed for legislation that restored the firing squad as a backup option to lethal injection, argued that the botched lethal injection of Creech last year highlights problems with that method.

The newly legalized execution method could impact the state’s eight current death row inmates and possibly the future University of Idaho college murders suspect Bryan Kohberger.

Little signed the bill as prosecutors have said they will seek the death penalty for Kohberger if he is convicted.

His trial is scheduled for later this year, and he faces four charges of first-degree murder and another charge of felony burglary.

A former Indiana math teacher faces multiple new sexual abuse charges.

Five more victims — including a 13-year-old — have accused Brittany Fortinberry, 31, of sex crimes, prosecutors allege.

She is facing additional counts of child molestation, dissemination of matter harmful to a minor, contributing to the delinquency of a minor and one count of sexual misconduct with a minor.

Last month, Fortinberry was charged with multiple crimes including sexual misconduct with a minor, dissemination of matter harmful to minors and contributing to the delinquency of a minor involving three of her students, one of which was 15 at the time. The alleged incidents occurred in 2023 and 2024.

Fortinberry resigned from the Metropolitan School District of Martinsville on August 23, 2024, a spokesperson said, per FOX59. Five more victims have since come forward, prosecutors said.

One of the teens, who was 13 at the time, told authorities that Fortinberry drugged him and his friends before sexually assaulting them at her house.

When the victims didn’t want to participate with Fortinberry, she allegedly told them, “Just let it happen,” according to WTHR.

In one case, Fortinberry allegedly purchased $600 worth of items for a group of teens making them don the Ghostface masks from the Scream film franchise, before sexually assaulting them. She allegedly warned the teens that if they told on her, she would commit suicide.

Another teen says she sexually assaulted him after asking him to babysit her children.

Authorities began investigating in August 2024 after two high school students reported to staff that the Eminence High School math teacher allegedly sent them “inappropriate” Instagram messages and videos of her sex toys and a stripper pole in her Martinsville home, according to a police probable cause affidavit.

Authorities began investigating a different incident on Dec. 10, 2024, after a woman went to the Morgan County Prosecutor’s Office alleging that her grandson “disclosed to her sexual acts that happened between him" and Fortinberry when he was 15 years old, per a second affidavit.

Per the affidavit, when asked by police about the allegations against her, Fortinberry did not say she regretted her actions. Instead, she told the officer she "regrets the day that she lost weight" and "doesn't think she would run into any of these issues if she was still 150 pounds heavier."

Certain residents in a Maryland suburb were shocked last week when they saw a man whose hands were tied behind his back running down the middle of the road in the middle of morning rush hour. Authorities are now saying that the man was kidnapped and held against his will for more than 20 hours while he was repeatedly beaten at the hands of three individuals before he was able to escape.

Chris Lamar Cochran, 48, Grace Elizabeth Amanda Johnson, 38, and Leland Charles Lewis, 48, all of Darlington, Maryland, were taken into custody and charged with a spate of crimes in connection to the alleged violent abduction.

Cochran is facing one count each of kidnapping, first-degree assault, second-degree assault, and false imprisonment. Johnson is charged with first-degree assault, second-degree assault, and false imprisonment. Lewis is charged with first and second-degree assault, false imprisonment, and reckless endangerment.

Police have not speculated about a possible motive.

Chilling audio has revealed the moment a New Jersey woman begged 911 for help after her maniac neighbor shot her and her husband — asking dispatchers to tell her kids she loved them if she bled to death.

Jill Kwatkoski and her husband, Tom, were left severely injured when their neighbor, John Adamo, 54, suddenly opened fire on them outside their Jersey Shore home on Tuesday afternoon after an apparent years-long feud, cops said.

“Please get the cops here, I’m bleeding to death,” the distressed wife screamed in 911 audio. “I can’t leave my kids,” she continued. “If I do, please tell them that I love them.”

Just moments earlier, Jill had told the dispatcher she feared her husband was already dead outside their home on Drake Drive in Berkeley Township.

“My husband, I think he’s dead outside and my leg is killing me,” the wife said. “I’m in the left leg — my husband I think — at least three rounds. Oh my God.” “There’s blood everywhere,” she added.

When the dispatcher asked what type of gun the neighbor opened fire with, Jill responded: “It looks like a f–king rifle. It looked like a rifle. Please hurry.”

Cops said Adamo — whom other neighbors described as a combative alcoholic who’d been in a feud with the victims — shot the husband as he was standing outside the home at about 4:45 p.m.

Then he fired his gun at the couple’s house and struck the wife as she stood inside. After opening fire, Adamo retreated to his own mansion, where he barricaded himself for two hours and eventually committed suicide, cops said.

SWAT teams had swarmed the property during the dramatic standoff and eventually blew Adamo’s front door off its hinges to get inside.

Neighbors were briefly evacuated after authorities found a pressure cooker inside Adamo’s bedroom, but a New Jersey State Police bomb squad later found the device wasn’t rigged to explode.

The couple, meanwhile, were both airlifted to Jersey Shore University Medical Center in Neptune, where they were initially listed in critical but stable condition.
