Amber Waterman creates an online persona in a work-from-home Facebook group and offers Ashley Bush a ride to a job interview. Instead, Waterman kidnaps the pregnant woman to steal her unborn baby. Missouri cops believe Waterman shot Bush, then cut the baby from her womb. Waterman's husband reportedly helps roll the body in a tarp and dump it. That's right. Bush's fiancée watches as Waterman drives past where he was waiting to pick up Bush. He tries to follow the vehicle, but eventually loses sight of it.

Later, Bush's phone is discovered in a ditch about a mile from where she was last seen. Suspicions are raised when the Watermans protest an autopsy of their, quote, stillborn baby. Amber Waterman now charged with kidnapping resulting in death. Jamie Waterman charged as an accessory.

Rosing allegedly kicks and bites an officer when he tries to cuff her. The college senior charged with assault, disorderly conduct, and assault on a cop.

Now with the latest crime and justice breaking news, Crime Online's John Limley. An Indiana man convicted of murder in the April shooting death of a man whose body was discovered in a wooded area has now been sentenced to 91 years in prison. Our friends at Crime Online.

Kinsel was facing an upcoming trial for cocaine possession when his body was discovered April 14.

Police believe the slaying occurred days earlier. A former Kansas City police detective convicted of shooting and killing a black man is asking that his conviction be overturned or that he be given a new trial. Jackson County Circuit Judge Dale Youngs convicted Eric DeValkenaire in March of involuntary manslaughter and armed criminal action in the death of 26-year-old Cameron Lamb on December 3, 2019. DeValkenaire, who is white, and his partner shot Lamb within seconds of arriving at a home where Lamb lived. They had followed him after reports of several traffic violations. Lamb was backing a pickup truck into a garage when he was shot.

In announcing the conviction, Young said the detectives violated Lamb's constitutional rights. Attorneys for Tennessee death row inmate Byron Black have told a state appeals court that he should not be executed because he is intellectually disabled. Our friends at Crime Online. Black is appealing a ruling by a Nashville judge earlier this year that denied his motion to be declared intellectually disabled. The judge noted that a state and federal court have previously determined Black does not meet the criteria. But his attorneys argued the criteria have changed, as has the law. Tennessee enacted a new law last year updating the standards to be used when determining intellectual disability. It also

provides a way for inmates who have exhausted their direct appeals to reopen their cases in order to bring an intellectual disability claim. A woman who recently settled a lawsuit in which she had claimed to have been sexually trafficked to Britain's Prince Andrew and others by the financier Jeffrey Epstein, has dropped a similar claim against noted American attorney Alan Dershowitz, saying she may have erred in accusing him. Virginia Dufresne's lawsuit against the prominent lawyer has now been withdrawn. She and Dershowitz issued a joint statement saying the resolution of the lawsuit did not involve the payment of money or anything else. Dershowitz said he was

gratified that the claims were withdrawn and Giuffre has admitted she may have made a mistake. Giuffre had filed a defamation lawsuit against Dershowitz after accusing a number of prominent men, including Prince Andrew, of sexually exploiting her when she was 17 and 18 years old. Quenita Morton notices when the Waffle House customer sitting next to her leaves his wallet behind. Closed-circuit TV shows Morton looking around, then covering the wallet with her hat.
