Crime Wire Weekly 10/30/26 | Bon Jovi Scams, Boosie Badazz’s Son is Busted, Diaper Tantrum’s

On the night of October 12, 2012, 21-year-old graduate student Shayna Hubers called 911 from her boyfriend’s Highland Heights, Kentucky condominium and calmly told the dispatcher she had just killed him in self-defense. What investigators found when they arrived was a scene that didn’t match her story—and an interrogation that would become one of the most talked-about in Kentucky true-crime history.

We open with a man extradited to Louisiana after an investigation into the online exploitation of an Acadiana child—including allegations he tried to push the minor toward demise. From there we head to Alabama, where a man is accused of using a chainsaw to kill his grandmother and aunt inside their home, then turning a court appearance into its own spectacle. Former University of Kentucky cheerleader Laken Snelling has been sentenced in the case of her newborn son, whose body was found in a closet; she previously admitted in court that she “ended his life.”

On New Year’s Day 2021, Morgan Metzer woke in her Canton, Georgia home to a masked man in black who spoke in a distorted Batman-like voice. He pistol-whipped her, strangled her twice, zip-tied her wrists, sexually assaulted her, and left her bound on the porch with a pillowcase over her head. Minutes later her ex-husband, Rodney Metzer, found her and called 911. What transpired next is shocking!

We start with a Baton Rouge man facing charges after his 92-year-old father was found beaten to death inside the family home—despite a protective order already in place from a prior assault. Then we head to the Poconos, where a mother has been charged in the double homicide of her husband and 3-year-old son inside a Great Wolf Lodge hotel room. Authorities say she called for help afterward, telling responders she wanted to be with them. From there, the stories only get stranger. A Brazilian man is planning to remarry the wife who severed his penis after she learned he cheated on her—and he’s using compensation money from the incident to fund the wedding and a prosthesis.

Part 4 of a 4 part series On January 24, 2023, in Duxbury, Massachusetts, labor-and-delivery nurse Lindsay Clancy strangled her three children—Cora, 5, Dawson, 3, and eight-month-old Callan—then jumped from a second-story window. She survived, paralyzed. Her husband, Patrick, came home from errands she had sent him on and found the house silent. Clancy has never denied killing her children. The fight in court was over why. Her defense said she was in the grip of postpartum psychosis: delusions, a voice telling her she had no choice, and a mind so broken she could not form criminal intent. Prosecutors said the day was planned. She had taken the kids to the doctor, played with them in the snow, gotten her husband out of the house, and—they argued—knew exactly what she was doing. The 2026 trial in Plymouth lasted weeks. Patrick Clancy, who had once asked the public to see “the real Lindsay,” took the stand for the state. Jurors heard the 911 call, hospital statements, medication history, and dueling psychiatric experts. After seven days of deliberations they could not agree. Eleven jurors were prepared to find her not criminally responsible. One holdout, Michael Desronvil, said he had no doubt she acted deliberately. The judge declared a mistrial
