A 65-year-old Summersville man was charged with first-degree murder after a state trooper found a body inside his refrigerator.

According to a recent statement made by the Summersville Police Department, a 65-year-old man was arrested and charged with first-degree murder for strangling a woman and hiding her lifeless body in a refrigerator. The man’s gruesome murder has been discovered by a state trooper who went to the man’s home in order to investigate the location where the woman was last seen.

David Allen Geier, a 65-year-old Nicholas County was recently arrested by the West Virginia authorities after a state trooper discovered a boy hidden in Geier’s refrigerator. According to the man’s affidavit, the West Virginian authorities were pursuing some leads in the case of a woman who vanished without a trace several weeks ago.

It would appear that the woman’s last known location was at Geier’s Nicholas County house. On Thursday, a state trooper was dispatched to the man’s house in order to investigate. Upon arriving there, the state trooper was greeted by Geier who told him that he hasn’t seen the woman, later identified as Teresa Gwinn, for at least a couple of weeks.

The state trooper entered the man’s house and began searching the premises. However, upon opening the refrigerator, the state trooper was greeted by a foul smell. Upon a closer examination, he discovered a partially decomposed human body inside the refrigerator. Geier was taken into custody without any incidents.

During his police interview, the West Virginia man admitted that, several weeks ago, he and Gwinn, presumably his girlfriend, had a falling-out. Geier told the investigators that, at one point, when the conversation got heated, he simply lost his wits, assaulted Gwinn and strangled her.

After realizing what he’s done, he hid the body inside the refrigerator, hoping that no one will find her there. Furthermore, according to the timeline piece together from the man’s interview and the evidence found at Geier’s house, it would seem that the murder took place on the 23^rd of March. The coroner’s report confirms the woman’s time and cause of death.

For his deed, David Allen Geier of West Virginia was charged with aggravated assault and first-degree murder and sent to the Central Regional Jail. According to the authorities, Geier will remain incarcerated until Friday, when he will be trialed. If he’s found guilty, Geier might get the capital punishment or spend the rest of his life behind bars.

Reportedly, the 63-year-old victim was assaulted while heading to a house to pick up some items belonging to her son and left behind when the man decided to end the relationship.

Such is the case of 35-year-old Rachel Hilyard of Wichita, Kansas who thought that the best way to settle the score with her ex-boyfriend was to decapitate the individual’s mother. The case grows even darker, as we learn that there was a 9-year-old child involved.

The facts show that Davis and her grandson arrived at the house sometime before 1:30 pm in order to retrieve the items. Moreover, it would seem that the woman allowed her grandson to tag along knowing that her son’s ex-girlfriend is no longer there.

However, upon arrived at the Wichita house, Davis was confronted by her son’s former girlfriend. After talking for a bit, the woman simply lost her wits and assaulted the 63-year-old woman right in front of the child.

During the scuffle, the 9-year-old boy managed to grab his grandmother’s cell phone and to flee the building. After losing sight of his grandmother’s attacker, the child dialed 911 and told the dispatcher what happened.

Pennsylvania man wearing a ‘Drunk Lives Matter’ T-shirt was recently arrested and charged with DUI.

On the subject of what not to do or, rather, not to wear while you’re behind the wheel, we present to you the slightly humorous and pungently ironic case of a man from Newville, Pennsylvania who recently got arrested for driving under the influence, while wearing a shirt reading ‘Drunk Lives Matter.’

Elwood Gutshall III, a 44-year-old man from Cumberland County, was recently arrested and charged with driving a vehicle while being under the influence of alcohol. According to the Cumberland County authorities, on the 19^th of March, at around 12:15 pm, the traffic monitor officers spotted a green Ford pickup truck behaving oddly in traffic.

In only a couple of minutes, the driver of the pickup truck violated at a dozen traffic regulations, becoming a danger to the other drivers and himself. Out of caution, the traffic monitor officers pulled over the driver’s vehicle in order to question him.

After the man had stopped his vehicle, the officer approached him. However, this will become a night to remember. According to the law enforcement agents who arrested Gutshall, the man was dressed in a casual neon-green T-shirt which had the ‘Drunk Lives Matter’ message printed on it.

Upon asking the man to step out of the vehicle, the police officers realized that the man was a bit tipsy. Obviously, the ‘Drunk Lives Matter’ activist was immediately arrested and taken to the police station for a little blood draw. When Gutshall’s BAC results came back, the officers realized that it was the right call to pull the man from the street.

Gutshall’s blood test results read 0.217 percent, which means that he will, more than likely, end up in prison for DUI. Well, this proves, once and for all, that not even a good sense humor can save you when you’re breaking the law.

What’s even more baffling is that of all the T-shirts in the world, the man decided to wear one saying that drunk lives matter while he himself was drenched in alcohol.

In Facebook post uploaded on Tuesday by the Newville Police Department, the man wearing the pic T-Shirt can be seen while posing for a mug shot. The expression on his face is probably more priceless than the message printed on his neon-green T-shirt.

Well, for the stunt he just pulled, Elwood Gutshall III of Newville was charged with the highest rate DUI and committing multiple traffic violations.

Compelling facts about the First World War.

Since the 2014 – 2018 timeframe has been declared the First World War Centennial, we want to present some of the most interesting and least known facts about the War to End All Wars. Note that most of these facts can be verified using online resources, while others might be rooted in hearsay or on documents which were either lost or destroyed

Big Bertha Was the Largest Piece of Artillery of the First World War

During the First World War, the Germans employed a 48-ton howitzer also known as Big Bertha. The massive cannon could lob 930-kg shells at over 15 kilometers. The name of the howitzer was given by Gustav Krupp, the engineer who designed it, in honor of his wife. Reportedly, assembling and calibrating the howitzer was a challenging task, as it required a crew of approximately 200 men who toiled over six hours on the cannon.

Carrier Pigeons

Because land lines were often damaged and destroyed by enemy artillery, both sides employed carrier pigeons to transmit valuable information. According to some estimates, during the First World War, approximately 500,000 pigeons were ‘drafted’ and trained to carry messages.

The Bloodiest Battles of the First World War

Although most of us shiver at hearing the names of Tannenberg or Gallipoli, according to the records, these were not the bloodiest battles of World War I. It appears that the bloodiest conflict was the Hundred Day Offensive, when approximately 1,8 million men lost their lives. Ranking second in the bloodiest battle of World War I is the Spring Offensive, which claimed the lives of 1.6 million men.

Germany’s Secret Pact with Mexico

Soon after the United States of America, Germany made a pact with Mexico. As part of this newly-founded friendship, Germany tried to lure Mexico into attacking America, in an attempt to claim Arizona, New Mexico, and Texas.

The Day Earth Stood Still

Did you know that, officially, World War One on the 11^th of November at exactly 11 o’clock?

The Insomniac

Reportedly, sometime during the First World Conflict, a combatant was shot in his frontal lobe. Although the soldier survived, he could never sleep again, due to his battlefield injury.

Chemotherapy and Mustard Gas

Although it would seem highly unlikely given the connection, but according to the medical records, the idea of using chemotherapy to treat cancerous outgrowths has its origin in how mustard gas affected the soldiers on the battlefield.

Hitler Was Saved by the British Army

Henry Tandey, a British rifleman, saw an enemy soldier wounded in a trench. Seeing that the solder made no attempts to attack, Tandey lowered his rifle and allowed him to flee. Reportedly, that soldier got up, thanked Tandey, and left. That soldier spared by Tandey was Adolf Hitler.

Malouff and the other would soon discover that this year’s doughnut-eating competition will prove to be more challenging. So, instead of sitting down at the table and eating as many doughnuts as they could, the participants were challenged to eat a half-pound doughnut in under a minute.

Twenty seconds later, the man got up from his chair, hands in the air, announcing that he was finished devouring the half-pound house specialty.

Chicago authorities said that one of the boys who broadcasted the girl’s rape on Facebook Live treated to sic a pitbull on her.

The Chicago authorities have recently released new details pertaining to the case of the 15-year-old girl who was sexually assaulted by two juvenile suspects on Facebook Live. According to Maha Gardner, the Assistant State’s Attorney, the minor told the investigators that one of her abductors threatened to sic his pitbull on her if she wanted to run away. At the moment, the Chicago authorities have arrested two suspects in the Facebook Live gangrape case but said that more individuals are under scrutiny.

Maha Gardner, the Assistant State’s Attorney, recently declared in a press conference that two male suspects had been taken into custody in the case of the 15-year-old Chicago girl whose rape was broadcasted on Facebook Live.

According to Gardner, the suspects taken into custody are a 15-year-old and a 14-year-old. The initial hearing held for the 15-year-old revealed that both he and the other male suspect knew the girl before.

It would appear that the two of them met the 15-year-old Chicago girl on the 19^th of March in a park. After chatting with her for a while, the two boys decided to take the girl to a house located in West Side. The 15-year-old was lured in house’s basement where she was assaulted by the boy and his friend.

What’s even more baffling is the fact that there was a bed in the basement and several people lined up to watch the ‘performance.’ As soon as the 15-year-old entered the basement, she was assaulted by the two individuals and dragged her into bed where she was sexually assaulted, while the others were watching and recording.

The girl’s police interview also revealed a disturbing fact. At one point, the two individuals told the 15-year-old girl that if she tries to escape the basement, they will sic a pitbull on her.

As for the suspects, both of them have been arrested and charged with aggravated sexual assault and the creation and distribution of material containing child pornography. Pending the trial, the 15-year-old and his accomplice have been moved to a Juvenile Temporary Detention Center.

Meanwhile, the authorities are making ample efforts to help the 15-year-old girl resume her life. The girl’s mother said that her daughter was moved to a safe location, as she became the subject of the children’s ridicule.

A two-year-old girl taught a Target a valuable lesson on racial diversity.

A two-year-old girl and her mother became quite popular on Facebook, shortly after the mother uploaded a post containing a conversation between her little girl and a Target employee, who asked her why did she choose to buy a black baby doll when they have countless other in the shop. The small girl’s reply was spectacular and comes to prove that, when it comes to kids, the color of the skin doesn’t really matter.

Brandi Benner and Nick, her husband, recently told Sophia, their 2-year-old daughter, that if she goes for one month straight to the potty, she will be able to pick out her own gift from Target. One month without any incidents went by, and Brandi decided to take her daughter to Target in order to buy her a gift.

Soon after they’ve arrived at the supermarket, the girl disappeared for a couple of minutes and came back with her prize – a black baby doll doctor. Brandi took Sophia to the cash register in order to pay for the doll.

However, upon reaching the counter, a Target employee asked the little girl if she was invited to someone’s birthday party. At that point, Sophia and her mother looked blankly towards the Target employee since they did not understand what she meant.

Growing more and more insistent, the Target employee asked Sophia if she intended to buy the black baby doll for one of her friends. Of course, both Sophia and her mother continued to stare blankly at the cashier.

Wanting to end the awkward conversion, Brandi told the Target cashier that the doll was her daughter’s prize for completing her potty training. The woman then turned towards Sophia and asked her if she really  wanted that doll seeing that she doesn’t look like her.

The girl’s reply was truly magnificent. Looking into the woman’s eyes, Sophia told her that she really wanted that doll. When the cashier told Sophia that she looks nothing like her, the little girl replied that the baby doll looks exactly like her because she has pretty hair. In addition, the girl also pointed out that the baby doll wants to become a doctor just like her because she has a stethoscope around her neck.

Ultimately, the Target employee gave up on her attempt to change the girl’s mind. The whole conversation was recorded and posted on Facebook by Sophia’s mother.

Kearney authorities recently declared that Elizabeth Thomas and Tad Cummins had been seen in a convenience store.

According to a Facebook post uploaded by the Kearney Police Department, it would appear that Elizabeth Thomas and ex-teacher Tad Cummins might have been spotted at a convenience store in Nebraska. A Tennessee Bureau of Investigation spokesperson declared that they are aware of the picture, but could not confirm if the people depicted in them are Thomas and Cummins.

As the nation-wide manhunt for kidnapper Tad Cummins continues, the authorities recently released a piece of information that might be vital in tracking down the man and his victim. According to Kearney’s Police Department, a surveillance footage retrieved from a Nebraska convenience store reveals two individuals, a male, and a female, who match Thomas and Cummins’s Amber Alert descriptions.

The information was disseminated to the public via a Facebook post. Meanwhile, the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation, the state agency who has kept tabs on Thomas’s case since the beginning, declared that they had reviewed the pictures sent by the Kearney Police Department.

A TBI spokesperson declared that, at this point, it’s still too early to tell if the individual depicted in the convenience store’s surveillance footage are really Thomas and Cummins or two lookalikes. Should the photos prove that the two visited Kearney, it will provide the authorities with a new lead regarding their location.

The last time Elizbeth Thomas and Tad Cummins were seen was at the end of March when an Oklahoma City Wal-Mart employee told the TBI that the two of the were seen shopping together. According to the Wal-Mart employee, Cummins paid with cash and left with the girl.

Now, the footage retrieved from the Nebraska convenience store seems to follow Cummins’s MO – dyed hair, heavy facial hair, paid with cash and left in a hurry. However, the security tape reveals a surprisingly new fact. Instead of using the silver Nissan Rogue, the two of them seemed to have entered a red pickup truck.

As always, the authorities have asked the public to keep their eyes opened and to call 911 if they see anyone that fits either Thomas’s or Cummins’s descriptions. The last time anyone saw Elizabeth Thomas was on the 15^th of March when her uncle dropped her at her house. An hour earlier, Tad Cummins was seen at a nearby Shell gas Station.

Keep in mind that Cummins might be armed with two handguns. If you see anyone fitting his description, please do not attempt to confront him and, instead, dial 911.

Pittsfield authorities have recently discovered the body of a 22-year-old an in a waste dumpster.

According to Pittsfield Police Department spokesperson, the body of a 22-year-old man was discovered in a waste dumpster located on Tyler Street. Based on eyewitness accounts, the authorities have determined that the man would often climb the waste dumpster. The preliminary investigation has ruled out foul play, and the investigators are currently waiting for the results of the man’s autopsy as well as the toxicological report.

On Saturday afternoon, Penny Stockley, a woman living on Tyler Street, declared that a couple of police cars and ambulances pulled in front of her house. Several law enforcement officers descended from their vehicles and went to investigate a waste dumpster located on the other side of the street.

Stockley recalls that shortly after the arrival of the ambulances, the coroner’s car pull in and several individuals began to check the contents of the dumpster. According to the authorities, after receiving a tip from an individual, the investigators discovered the body of an individual in the dumpster located on Tyler Street.

The body was later identified as belonging to 22-year-old Louis Ely, who lives on Briggs Avenue. Although the law enforcement officers could not determine who Ely winded up in the dumpster or how he did, they were able to rule out foul play from the beginning.

Ely’s body was sent to Coroner’s Office for a post-mortem examination. Furthermore, the Pittsfield authorities also order a toxicological examination to determine if 22-year-old Ely consumed anything prior to his death.

Stockley, the woman whose home is adjacent to the dumpster where the body of Louis Ely was discovered, recall seeing the man on more than one occasion. The woman told the reporters and the police officers that she saw the man coming in and jumping into the waste container as though he was looking for something.

However, she does not recall seeing him leaving the dumpster or something else that may shed some light on the man’s death. According to the Pittsfield Police Department, Louis Ely’s death might have been the result of an accident, but, at this point, it’s still too early to confirm or to deny such a hypothesis.

Meanwhile, the investigators are looking for clues in the area surrounding the trash receptacle where Ely was found. Stockley told the reporters that Tyler Street is usually a quiet neighborhood sans for the regular brawls, but nothing as ominous as this. We will be back with more details as soon as the authorities publish the results of the man’s post-mortem examination.
