Today, we're learning more about the teenager from Humble, Texas, whose mother's body was found inside the trunk of his car. On October 13th, 17-year-old Tyler Rowens and his mother were reported missing from their humble home after his father reported finding a bloody scene inside the home. Our friends at CrimeOnline.com. The husband and father found not just blood, but teeth in the home. One tooth was found in the garage, four more found in the master bedroom in a pool of blood.

Surveillance video reportedly shows the family's Mazda 3 leaving the house at 11.44 a.m. When Nebraska Highway Patrol spotted the vehicle and tried to stop it, the teen took off, hitting speeds of 110 miles per hour before crashing into a semi. A preliminary investigation determined that the mom died of blunt force trauma and strangulation. Prosecutors are calling for an investigation after one of the jurors in the sentencing trial for Parkland, Florida, school shooter Nicholas Cruz said another juror threatened her life during deliberations. This after the jury spared the gunman from a death sentence.

Hannah Phillips, a criminal justice reporter for the Palm Beach Post, spoke to our friends at CBS News. The nature of that threat is still unclear. An investigation is ongoing right now. Something that criminal defense attorneys across Florida have said is that even if a threat was made, it's unlikely to impact the sentencing, which is scheduled to happen in November. And that's because of Florida's double jeopardy law. 24-year-old Cruz pleaded guilty a year ago to the murder of 14 Stoneman Douglas students and three staff members on February 14, 2018. The trial of a Florida woman accused of dressing up as a clown in 1990 and fatally shooting the wife of a man she later married has been postponed following the disclosure of a law enforcement file containing information about other clown sighting leads at the time.

Defense attorneys for Sheetly Keene Warren have been demanding a file on other clown sightings, but prosecutors have insisted they didn't have it. Now it's been found. The 25-page clown sighting file has names, addresses, or phone numbers of 40 credible leads, according to defense attorneys. Defense attorneys are also asking that Keene Warren be allowed pretrial release from jail. A suspect is in custody after a shooting near the campus of James Madison University in Harrisonburg, Virginia. The shooting in the early morning hours of Sunday left eight people wounded.
