In the early hours of Oct 4, 2025 in downtown Indianapolis, former NFL QB and Fox Sports analyst Mark Sanchez got into a confrontation with Perry Tole, a 69-year-old truck driver collecting used cooking oil. The dispute reportedly started over blocked access/parking near an alley. During the struggle, Tole pepper-sprayed Sanchez and then stabbed him multiple times, saying it was self-defense after Sanchez allegedly tried to get into his truck and attacked him. Sanchez fled and was later hospitalized with serious injuries. Sanchez was arrested and initially booked on misdemeanors; prosecutors have since upgraded to felony battery resulting in serious bodily injury (a charge that can carry 1–6 years if convicted). Authorities say parts of the incident were captured on video. Tole has filed a civil lawsuit seeking damages against Sanchez and Fox over alleged permanent disfigurement and other injuries. ALL MERCH 10% off with code Sherlock10 at checkout  - NEW STYLES Donate: (Thank you for your support!

Did the state just turn the case on its head? Defense claims the drug dealer who sold the middle woman the fentanyl that killed Eric Richins told prosecutors in April of this year that he didn't sell her fentanyl, but oxycodone. He claims he was detoxing when he made his original statement and was "out of it"Defense says the state did not inform them of this & has known for months.We break down the 2 affidavits by the witness/drug dealer, a new request for bond, and the defense wanting all communications the state has of any and all information from setting up the interview to summaries of the April meeting. The defense says now the state's entire case is in jeopardy because their case hinged on Kouri getting the fentanyl from the middle woman who in turn got it from the drug dealer.  ALL MERCH 10% off with code Sherlock10 at checkout  - NEW STYLES Donate: (Thank you for your support!

a visiting teacher is someone from the lds female congregation that is assigned to give short spiritual thoughts and/or check in on the assigned person monthly to see if they are doing okay and if she needs anything. Usually, every adult female is assigned 1 to 3 people to "visit teach".

okay I'm really not understanding why the biological parents were told that they couldn't know where the baby's body was going to go. I think there should be an internal investigation into the child services who had authority over that case because of all the things that went wrong with a lot of the different situations I really don't know how they dcfs got away with the things they did to the victims of this case.

not to be crude but I still think the kids were killed in loris apt and that Tylee was dismembered there as well. I think that luminol needs to be used in that apt. I don't think it's been done. as I don't think detectives are thinking that way. and it can be found years later truly would love to see this on a forensic files episode
