A suburban Alabama mother living a double life as an adult model was allegedly beaten to death with a bottle of absinthe by her husband during a night of drinking. The stunning revelation came after court records pertaining to William 'Jeff' West's arrest were made public on Friday.
The jury's guilty verdict was quick and its recommendation of death for Donald Smith was clear. "I can't say it is closure until I know he is dead," said Rayne Perrywinkle, the mother of 8-year-old Cherish Perrywinkle, who was kidnapped, raped and murdered by Smith in 2013. "He never gave Cherish a chance."
The plea hearing of a Johnston mother accused of leaving her children home alone while she went on vacation has been delayed. Erin Macke is charged with four counts of child endangerment. She allegedly went to Germany, leaving two 12-year-olds, a seven-year-old, and a six-year-old home alone. via Knit
