🚨 AMISH MOTHER ACCUSED OF DROWNING 4-YEAR-OLD SON CHOOSES BENCH TRIAL An Ohio mother charged in the drowning death of her young son will face a judge — not a jury — this week. Ruth Miller has pleaded not guilty by reason of insanity to charges including aggravated murder and felonious assault. She has elected a bench trial, meaning the judge alone will determine the outcome. Prosecutors allege Miller drowned her 4-year-old son in a lake, then attempted to drive a golf cart into the water with her three teenage children inside. Body camera footage reportedly captured her telling officers, “I gave my son to God,” and claiming her husband was at the bottom of the lake. Her defense team argues she was suffering from severe mental illness and says she has been receiving counseling and medication while in custody. The trial is expected to last one day. #RuthMiller #OhioCrime #CourtTV #BreakingNews #TrueCrime

Man Arrested for Fake Ransom Messages in Nancy Guthrie Case Federal authorities have arrested 42-year-old Derrick Calella of Hawthorne, California, for allegedly sending fraudulent ransom texts tied to the disappearance of 84-year-old Nancy Guthrie, mother of Today co-anchor Savannah Guthrie. Investigators stress these messages are not believed to be connected to whoever may be responsible for Nancy’s disappearance. According to officials, the texts — sent shortly after the family made a public plea for help — referenced a Bitcoin payment. Authorities traced the messages to a VoIP number linked to Calella’s home. He reportedly admitted to sending them after finding the family’s contact information online, claiming he wanted to see if they would respond. Let’s be clear: inserting yourself into a family’s crisis is not a prank — it’s a federal offense. Officials have firmly classified the texts as a hoax and say they are separate from other ransom communications still being evaluated for credibility. Where the case stands: • Calella faces federal charges • No mugshot has been released • No additional arrests have been announced • The investigation remains active False leads don’t just waste time — they deepen the pain for families desperate for answers. The focus remains exactly where it should be: finding Nancy and following the evidence. #NancyGuthrie #BreakingNews #MissingPerson #TrueCrime
