Teen Kills Mother, Lies in Wait for Stepdad|Crime Alert Recap Sunday 9.22.24

As Diddy sits in jail on federal charges...a TWELFTH victim has come forward with a lawsuit alleging Sean Combs drugged and raped her. Thalia Graves, who was dating a Bad Boy employee, says she accepted a glass of wine from Diddy while riding in a car driven by head of security, Joseph Sherman. Graves says she doesn’t remember passing out, but when she wakes up, she’s lying face down on a pool table with her hands tied behind her back, as Sean Combs rapes her vaginally and anally. Years later, Graves learned Combs videoed the attack, and distributed it to others.    This comes as some speculate what exactly is SEAN "Diddy" Combs eating in jail? Word is, it’s not the meals provided by food services, for fear he might be poisoned. Ex-Inmate Larry Levine says Combs may be paranoid. It’s not unimaginable that someone inside could be paid off to poison the food with a substance that could give Diddy a heart attack for instance. Correctional officers don't make a lot of money, and the people who may or may not be on Diddy’s tapes... have plenty of money.  Levine concedes a much simpler explanation is many prisoners just don’t like the food when they first arrive.    Joining Nancy Grace today:  Renee Rockwell - Criminal Defense Attorney, Facebook: "Renee.Rockwell" Dr. Bethany Marshall -  Author: "Deal Breaker," featured in hit show: "Paris in Love" on Peacock https://www.drbethanymarshall.com/ , Instagram & TikTok: drbethanymarshall, Twitter: @DrBethanyLive Dr. DeWayne Hendrix  - Former Associate Warden at the MDC in Brooklyn, and Fmr.

Ellen Greenberg, a 27-year-old first-grade teacher in Philadelphia, and her longtime boyfriend, Sam Goldberg, had just sent out "save the date" cards for their upcoming wedding. As a blizzard approached Philadelphia, her school dismissed early. At home with her fiancé, Sam left around 4:45 p.m. to work out at the apartment complex gym. Less than an hour later, when he returned, the door was locked from the inside. For over 20 minutes, Sam pounded on the door, texted, and called Ellen, but received no response. At 6:33 p.m., he broke down the door and found Ellen on the kitchen floor, stabbed 20 times in the chest, neck, and head. While on the phone with 911, Sam was instructed to perform CPR, but he told them a knife was still lodged in her chest. First responders arrived within minutes, and Ellen was pronounced dead at 6:40 p.m. Police launched an investigation. Initially, the medical examiner ruled Ellen's death a homicide, but after meeting with police, the ruling was changed to suicide. Since the medical examiner changed the manner of death, Ellen’s parents, Josh and Sandee Greenberg, have been fighting to have the ruling reversed. Now, Guy D'Andrea, a former assistant district attorney who worked on the case, is speaking out.  Joining Nancy Grace today:  Sandee & Josh Greenberg -  Ellen Greenberg's Parents, Twitter: @justice4ellentw, Facebook: @justice4ellenFB,   Facebook: #Justice For Ellen Guy D’Andrea  - Former Pennsylvania Prosecutor, Attorney at Laffey Bucci D’Andrea Reich & Ryan John Luciew [pronounced Lucy]- (Harrisburg, Pa) Journalist for PennLive.com and The Patriot-News of Harrisburg, Pa.

Polk County Sheriff's deputies respond to a 911 call from a home in Auburndale, Florida. Inside, they find 39-year-old Catherine Griffith lying face down with a kitchen knife in her neck. She is pronounced dead at the scene. Investigators begin canvassing the neighborhood to determine what led to Catherine's death. The case background begins when, after 20 years of marriage, Catherine Griffith leaves her husband, Charles Griffith. She alleges that Charles abused her and their two sons, Christopher and Collin, for years. Christopher, 20, no longer lives at home, but custody disputes arise over 13-year-old Collin, who goes to live with his father in Oklahoma. Catherine claims Charles cut off her contact with Collin after he begged her to rescue him, accusing her ex-husband of "holding Collin hostage" since he came out as gay. Charles, however, contends that Collin no longer wants contact with Catherine because she is "unstable" and that he restricted communication after Catherine sent Collin a photo of a handwritten suicide note. A judge rules that Collin will remain in Oklahoma with his father. Tensions escalate on Valentine’s Day when Collin calls 911 to report he shot and killed his father. He tells the operator his father attacked him and chased him with a knife through their home. When cornered in a bedroom, Collin says he grabbed a shotgun and shot Charles in self-defense. Investigators, unable to rule out self-defense based on the 911 call and home evidence, send Collin to live with his mother in Florida. Catherine's social media posts suggest she and Collin are happy together, as they travel to Washington D.C., take a Disney cruise, and celebrate Collin’s early graduation and his first car purchase. However, friends and family describe a more troubled relationship. Collin frequently argues with his mother and struggles with his mental health. On September 6, Collin leaves after a disagreement over household chores and goes to his grandmother's house. Despite several attempts to bring Collin home, Catherine confides in a neighbor about her exhaustion in dealing with her son. She texts that she has cleared out Collin’s room and will not allow him back without her permission. The neighbor also tries to convince Collin to return, but he ignores her. Catherine says she plans to meet Collin at his grandmother’s home the following day as a last-ditch effort to bring him back before he misses a probation meeting, warning that if he doesn't comply, law enforcement will intervene.

It took over a year for Virginia police to make a second arrest in connection with the murders of Christine Banfield and Joseph Ryan. Juliana Peres Magalhães, the au pair caring for Banfield's daughter, faces second-degree murder charges, but only in Joseph Ryan's death. The person indicted in Christine Banfield’s killing is her husband, Brendan Banfield. He faces four counts of aggravated murder and one count of felony firearm use. That day, Banfield told 911 he shot a man who had stabbed his wife. Investigators say the killings were part of a larger scheme. Peres Magalhães and Brendan Banfield began a romantic relationship in the months leading up to the murders, and allegedly continued the affair afterward. On the day of the murders, Magalhães called 911 to report an emergency. She hung up during the first call, and more than 10 minutes later, she called again, with Brendan Banfield speaking to the dispatcher. He claimed he shot a man who had stabbed his wife. According to Peres Magalhães, they found Joseph Ryan holding a knife to Christine Banfield’s throat. She alleged Ryan stabbed Christine Banfield, and Brendan Banfield then shot Ryan. Magalhães also told authorities she fired one shot at Ryan with a second gun. Prosecutors and police say Brendan Banfield and Juliana Peres Magalhães had been having an affair for months before Christine Banfield and Joseph Ryan were killed.   Joining Nancy Grace today:  Brian Foley –  Board-certified Criminal Defense Attorney, Former Chief Prosecutor in Harris County, (Houston) Texas; Author: “What Prosecutors Don’t Tell You”; Instagram @brianfoleylawpllc/ YouTube – @brianfoleylawyer/X: @brianpllc Courtney Lasky, M.Ed., LBA, BCBA   –  Board-certified Behavior Analyst, Autism Expert, and Chief Clinical Officer with Little Stars Therapy Services Ron Bateman – Sheriff (Former Homicide and Undercover Narcotics) & Author: “Silent Blue Tears: Voice of The Victims;” X: Ronbatemanbooks Dr. Jan Gorniak – Medical Examiner, Clark County Office of the Coroner/Medical Examiner (Las Vegas, NV), Board Certified Forensic Pathologist Sierra Fox - Anchor/Reporter, Fox 5 Washington DC; @thesierrafox: Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, and X See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

More allegations against Sean Diddy Combs emerging from Combs’ ex-girlfriend, the late Kim Porter. Porter's friends have leaked nearly 60 pages from the diary Porter kept during her relationship with Combs in a memoir. The author of Kim’s Lost Words claims the pages were provided by a friend of Porter’s, who also claims to have tapes Porter copied from Combs’ files depicting Combs having sex with a male teenage pop star. The diary pages reveal Combs hits Porter for the first time when she refuses to use a strap-on with him. Porter claims Combs hosts “parties” that are really just orgies, and “everyone wanted in.” Porter details finding Combs’ ‘vault’ full of video tapes of Combs’ encounters, many with young men, stars he had formerly managed at Bad Boy. The author of the memoir was also provided a photo of Porter using makeup to cover injuries Combs’ caused. When asked about defending Combs again the allegations that he hit, kicked and dragged women which was caught on camera. The attorney replied, " he's not charged with hitting, kicking and dragging. He's charged with sex trafficking."
