Virginia State University Shooting Suspect Found Hiding in Dorm Closet | Crime Alert 08.17.26

Madi Brooks, 19, leaves Reggie’s Bar with four young men who offer to give her a ride home.

A few blocks from the bar, the driver pulls over and starts to video as the two men in the backseat ‘have sex’ with an extremely intoxicated Brooks. Afterward, Brooks cannot tell the men her address and, according to them, insists on getting out of the car. Just before 3 a.m., a Lyft driver strikes something in the road. It’s Madi Brooks. She dies of her injuries at a hospital.

The four men have been charged in this case, three of them with third-degree rape, and one is charged as a principal to third-degree rape, which means he was present for the alleged crime, but did nothing to stop it. 

Reportedly,  there are concerns that District Judge Gail Horne Ray will not remain neutral while presiding over the trial of Madison Brooks’ four alleged rapists. Last year, Judge Ray reduced an accused rapist’s bail without allowing prosecutors to argue against the decision.

Just last month, Ray moved to overturn a 1972 rape conviction when asked to consider allowing the convict parole. Her son, Nelson Taylor Jr., is also a convicted serial rapist.

A man got a great deal on a home in Connecticut at a home foreclosure auction. There was one catch - the home was sold "As-Is", none of the bidders were allowed to see the inside of the home before bidding. Edward A. Marchion of Newington, Connecticut, purchased the home at 7 Stanwich lane, Burlington, Connecticut, by bidding $525,000 at a court ordered foreclosure auction on June 6, 2026. On June 14, the new homeowner opened the doors to his new home, and new nightmares for the rest of his life! Joseph Scott Morgan and Dave Mack take a look at how a great deal on a house turned out to be a great big nightmare when the new owner finds the home still occupied - by three skeletons!

Skeletons Lurk Inside “As‑Is” Auction Home

Nick Reiner indicted in the killings of his parents Rob Reiner and Michele Singer Reiner. He's facing two counts of first-degree murder. The indictment, which will replace the original murder case filed against him in 2025, includes a new special circumstance allegation of lying in wait

Here's why.

Michele and Rob Reiner leave Conan’s party without their son after his off-putting behavior, like wearing a hoodie to a formal event and interrupting Bill Hader’s private conversation, leads to an embarrassing public row.

Reiner, however, doesn’t make his own way to Brentwood. Instead, he pops up in Santa Monica at 4 a.m. Sunday morning, checking into The Pierside hotel. Desk staff don’t notice anything off about Reiner’s appearance, but the next morning, housekeepers find sheets covering the windows, and blood all over Reiner’s bedding and shower.

The Reiners’ troubles with their middle child have been bubbling to a head for months. Every photo of the family from the September premiere of Rob’s latest film, "Spinal Tap: The End Continues," picture the 32-year-old sporting a deep scowl.

By November, Nick Reiner moves back into his parents’ guest house, which he’s trashed on multiple occasions, leading up to a blowout fight the day after Thanksgiving that left Michele “at her wits’ end.”
