TEEN GIRL ALLEGEDLY TORTURED, MURDERED AND DISMEMBERED AFTER MEETING ADULT MALE ONLINE, LAWSUIT SENT TO ARBITRATION

Miranda Corsette's estate files a wrongful-death lawsuit against Grindr, the app through which she  met her  killer. The estate trying to hold the app responsible for the teen's death after being introduced to a male adult. Grindr argued the dispute should go to arbitration, rather than to a trial. Now a judge has agreed.  A 12-page ruling by U.S. District Judge Tom Barber states that Corsette, in creating the Grindr account, "had agreed to terms and conditions that included arbitration of legal disputes." Barber ruled that when Corsette electronically signed to create her account, an agreement exits that   “broadly covers any dispute, claim, or controversy between Corsette and Grinder, agreeing to resolve disputes through arbitration.”  This despite the fact that the 16-year-old was restrained, beaten and tortured for several days. Corsette was suffocated when a pool ball,  wrapped in a sock was shoved into her mouth, and then her head and face were wrapped in saran wrap. The judge said “Corsette agreed to Grindr’s terms of service each of  three times she created  Grindr accounts.”    Court documents reveal that at least six people knew Steven Gress, 37, and Michelle Brandes, 35, were holding Miranda against her will before she died. Gress allegedly sent photos of Miranda, visibly bruised, to three people, including his mother. She told police she did not view the images but admitted her son tried to talk to her about Miranda. She said she shut down the conversation, telling him she didn’t want to know. At least two neighbors reportedly saw Miranda in distress at the home. A woman who lived with Gress and Brandes witnessed a week of torture, the murder, and the clean-up that followed. The documents also outline a detailed timeline, including a trip to celebrate Brandes’ birthday at a Popeyes restaurant—while Miranda’s dismembered remains allegedly sat in Gress’ trunk.

In a shocking video going viral online, the attempted murder of a police officer is caught on video. At 11:56 a.m., a Whitpain Township Police Sergeant attempts to stop a white Mercedes G-Wagon, but the vehicle speeds away with the suspect driving erratically, at high speed, crossing over the concrete median. The officer discontinues the chase once it gets out of hand, putting others' lives in danger, but he does alert other departments to be on the lookout. Later, at 12:39 p.m., Plymouth Township police respond to Doubletree Guest Suites, where the Mercedes G-Wagon is spotted. Pulling directly behind the Mercedes, activating lights, the Mercedes, allegedly driven by Dalton Janiczek, is thrown into reverse, and the $130,000 vehicle is used as a battering ram against the patrol unit, striking the police vehicle multiple times. The officer gets out of his patrol car and orders Janiczek to stop, but Janiczek does the opposite and floors the Mercedes, attempting to hit the officer, who now discharges his firearm in defense. The officer is injured during this car attack, and while on the ground, he attempts to put a tourniquet on his wounded leg, while he also watches as Janiczek circles the parking lot and heads back to hit him again, and again, and again.  Janiczek flees the parking lot. Thankfully, the attempted murder of a police officer is caught on tape. Dalton Janiczek is no stranger to local police. In the week before his arrest, he had been involved in several incidents in the area, including a threat to bomb a police station. Janiczek lives a life of privilege with his high-flying, locally famous attorney father, Lee Janiczek, growing up in Amber, Pennsylvania, in a $1.4 million dollar home. Janiczek graduated from LaSalle College High School in Wyndmoor, Pennsylvania, and then spent two years at Loyola Marymount in Los Angeles, where he was on the rowing team. His grandfather, Dr. Lee J. Janiczek, the longest-serving commissioner in Springfield Township,retired in 2019 after 44 years of public service.

Psychotherapist Katie Ong calls her regular nanny, Samantha Rae Booth, when she is going to be out of town. For two years, Booth has cared for Ong's 3-year-old without incident. Katie becomes concerned when she can't get Booth on the phone just before 8 p.m., so she calls her dad, David Ong, to go by the house and make sure everything is ok. David Ong arrives at his daughter's Royal Oak home to check on his granddaughter, but once he arrives, he, too, goes silent. When Katie can't get her father back on the phone, she calls her brother-in-law, Douglas Smith, explains the situation, and asks if he will go to the house and see what is going on. Smith arrives at the home at 9:25 p.m. The front door is wide open. Smith hears noises coming from the basement and calls out to the nanny. Booth does not respond, so Smith goes down to the basement and is shocked to find Booth covered in blood in a "manic state" and David Ong lying on the floor with severe head injuries. The 83-year-old grandpa, called "the gentle giant" by his family, did everything he could to protect his granddaughter from a screwdriver attack. Douglas Smith and his niece are sent to the hospital while first responders try to save David Ong in the basement.  The elder Ong is pronounced dead on the scene in the basement.

Private Investigator Steve Fischer is on the David Anthony Burke case out of Hollywood, California, investigating what took place in a mansion rented by Burke and his manager. The owner of the mansion tasks Fischer with determining if Celeste ever stayed in the mansion and when the last time she was seen on the property was. During this PI job, Steve uncovers strange, sadistic items allegedly even for a Hollywood mansion. Fischer turned the items over to LAPD. Bottles of prescription pain medication and drug paraphernalia are recovered again, not by LAPD when they served a search warrant after Celeste was identified as the body found in Burke's Tesla, but by Private Investigator Steve Fischer.  During the time Burke was living in the mansion, other people were staying there, as well as men and women. Their personal belongings were recovered in the guest bedrooms, bathroom cabinets, and bedside tables.  Fischer has been studying surveillance footage, talking to neighbors, and gathering a timeline around Celeste and Burke's Tesla to determine when she was last alive.  Burke was in town the day the unkempt Tesla was last moved, July 29.  Fischer has identified the driver.  Joining Nancy Grace today:  Jo-Anna Nieves - Criminal defense attorney and Founder of The Nieves Law Firm; Instagram, Facebook and X: nieveslawfirm, YouTube and TikTok: thenieveslawfirm Dr. Bethany Marshall -  Psychoanalyst, Author: "Deal Breaker," and featured in hit show "Paris in Love" on Peacock; Instagram & TikTok: drbethanymarshall, X: @DrBethanyLive Steve Fischer - Missing Persons Private Investigator, Search & Rescue Specialist, & Owner of Search Investigations [He has been hired by the owner of the Hollywood Hills property where D4vd had been staying to look into this case - he was at the house just a few days ago]; Facebook: SearchInvestigations, X: @SF_Investigates Dr. Kendall Crowns - Chief Medical Examiner Tarrant County (Ft Worth), Host of Podcast "Mayhem in the Morgue," and Lecturer: Burnett School of Medicine at TCU (Texas Christian University) Luke Kenton - Senior Reporter, Daily Mail Dave Mack - Investigative Reporter, 'Crime Stories’ See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

A few months after Epstein walked free, Prince Andrew corresponds with the convicted sex offender, promising to make plans for a trip to New York, as “it would be good to catch up in person.” Andrew claims his December trip to Epstein’s New York mansion was planned solely to break the news he must cut contact with the financier. However, in a January email to Epstein, Andrew writes, “Keep in close touch, and we’ll play some more soon!!!!” The Met Police investigate claims Prince Andrew tried to involve his tax-funded Met Protection Officer and Queen Elizabeth’s deputy press secretary in a smear campaign against Virginia Giuffre. Metropolitan Police are told to re-investigate Virginia Giuffre’s sex abuse allegations against Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor following removal of his royal titles. But Scotland Yard claims they will not pursue a criminal investigation after Giuffre's initial allegations or her civil case. Prince Andrew may face more than just eviction! Republic, a pressure group that pushes to see the monarchy abolished, instructed lawyers to begin an investigation into the prince. Anonymous plaintiffs file lawsuits against Bank of America and Bank of New York Mellon, claiming the institutions illicitly enabled Epstein’s trafficking activities. Both banks are accused of ignoring the illegal activity, with Bank of America turning a blind eye to Epstein’s use of a victim’s account to pay her and other victims off, and Mellon failed to flag nearly $378 million in victim payments as suspicious.
