Sandra Kolalou Case

A tenant in Chicago was convicted of the killing and dismembering of her 69-year-old landlord using “large butcher knives” and stashing the body parts in a freezer over an eviction notice

Sandra Kolalou, 37, was convicted on Monday of first-degree murder, dismembering a body, concealing a homicidal death, and aggravated identity theft in the killing of Frances Walker.

“We miss Fran a lot. She is the person no one can say anything bad about at all,” said sister-in-law Maria Maggie Walker after the verdict, Chicago NBC affiliate WMAQ reported.

Kolalou denied killing Walker, who she testified was a friend, saying, “I would do anything for Fran,” the Chicago Sun-Times reported. Her lawyers reportedly plan to appeal,

As Law&Crime reported, the killing happened on Oct. 10, 2022. Police responded to a call of a possible missing person at a boardinghouse where Kolalou had rented a room from Walker in the 5900 block of North Washtenaw Avenue.

Tenants in the building reported hearing Walker screaming at 2:30 a.m. and made several attempts to contact her. Walker did not respond, but several text messages were sent from her phone — texts officials said were sent by Kolalou.

When the tenants could not make contact all day, they called 911 to report her missing. As police arrived, Kolalou was seen exiting the residence and getting into a tow truck that she had allegedly ordered and paid for using Walker’s credit card. She refused to talk to the police, saying she knew her rights, and told the tow truck driver to take her to Foster Beach to get her car.

Prosecutors said “many of the tenants” in the boardinghouse were afraid of Kolalou, adding that police had responded to several previous 911 calls regarding the defendant. Fearful for the tow truck driver’s safety, several of the tenants exchanged information with him and made clear that they believed Kolalou to be dangerous, police said.

The tow truck driver soon contacted one of the tenants and relayed that when Kolalou got to Foster Beach, she “placed a large bag in a garbage can,” Deenihan said. Several tenants had followed the tow truck and opened the bag to discover bloody rags and linens inside. They notified the officers who were already back at the house, and additional officers responded to Foster Beach and the boardinghouse.

After an initial search revealed no signs of foul play, police searched Kolalou’s room again, this time finding blood and “the gruesome remains” in Kolalou’s freezer, police said. Investigators then obtained a search warrant and allegedly discovered additional blood spatter and several bloody kitchen knives.

Kolalou was still with the tow truck driver and had threatened him with a knife for contacting the other tenants, authorities said.

“Due to the communication between the tow truck driver and the tenants, police were able to get to that scene immediately and place the defendant in custody for pulling a knife on the tow truck driver,” Deenihan said.

Sandra Kolalou was transported to the police station, where she “immediately invoked her right to remain silent,” police said.

Kolalou is believed to have killed and dismembered Walker in Walker’s bedroom “with large butcher knives.”

Police said Walker had served the defendant with a notice to leave or an eviction notice.

Miranda Cásarez Murders 4 Yr Old Boy

Miranda Cásarez
Miranda Cásarez

Miranda Cásarez is a killer from Texas who was convicted of the murder of her four year old stepson

According to court documents Miranda Cásarez would starve to death four year old Benjamin “Benji” Cervera Jr. As well as not giving the young boy proper nutrition Miranda would force the boy to consume hand sanitizer, urine and hot sauce

When authorities went to the home after someone called 911 and reported an unresponsive child they were shocked at the condition of the little boy. Benjamin “Benji” Cervera Jr weighed just twenty eight pounds at the time of his death

Miranda Casarez and her husband Brandon Cervera Sr were arrested and charged with murder and child abuse

Miranda Casarez would be convicted and sentenced to twenty five years in prison. Brandon Cervera Sr trial date is later this year

Miranda Cásarez Case

A woman who was found guilty in the starvation death of her 4-year-old stepson was sentenced Thursday to 25 years in prison.

Jurors deliberated for about 3 1/2 hours before deciding punishment for Miranda Casarez, who was on trial on a charge of injury to a child in connection with the death of her stepson, Benjamin Cervera.

“Death by starvation is horrible and unconscionable. This case paints a grim picture of neglect and abuse and highlights the urgency of justice for victimized children,” Bexar County District Attorney Joe Gonzales said in a news release.

The state pushed for the maximum punishment, life in prison, while defense attorneys asked jurors for probation.

Casarez pleaded for mercy on the witness stand Thursday to avoid a prison sentence.

She told jurors that she was a good mother, loved Benjamin and took no responsibility for the boy’s death.

“When did you starve Benji?” a prosecutor asked Casarez, who replied, “I didn’t starve him.”

The defendant instead blamed the boy’s father, Brandon Cervera, for the starvation and also said he physically abused him.

“You will not take responsibility for any of it?” the prosecutor asked the defendant. Casarez replied, “I didn’t cause those injuries. I never hit him.”

The jury on Wednesday just took one hour to find Casarez guilty.

During the trial, the state said Casarez withheld food and water from Benjamin and even recorded a video on her phone of him crying and begging for bread.

In the video clip shown in court, Benjamin is sitting in the backseat of the car and is crying saying, “I want bread.” Casarez can be heard telling him to sit back and you briefly see the side of her face before the video is cut off.

The video was taken the morning of Aug. 17, 2021, just hours before Benjamin was taken to a hospital and died from what was ruled as starvation.

Brandon Cervera is also charged in the case and his trial is pending.

Brianna Williams is a killer from Florida who was convicted of the murder of her five year old daughter

According to court documents Brianna Williams would slowly starve her five year old daughter to death. When the little girl ultimately passed away from severe malnutrition Brianna would put the body of Taylor into her vehicle and would later bury the body in Alabama

After the little girl was buried Brianna Williams would report to the police that her daughter was missing. Neighbors would tell police that they had not seen the little girl in weeks before she was reported missing.

Brianna Williams story began to fall apart and soon after she was refusing to cooperate with police regarding the disappearance of her daughter. Eventually the body of little Taylor would be found and Brianna was arrested for murder

Brianna Williams would plead guilty to murder and would be sentenced to life in prison

Brianna Williams Case

Brianna Shontae Williams had a duty to care for her daughter Taylor, the judge told her, but she failed to do so as the 5-year-old just wasted away in Jacksonville. Then she secretly stowed the child’s body in the trunk of her vehicle, buried her in a crude Alabama grave and falsely reported her disappearance.

Calling it “a tragedy all around,” Circuit Court Judge Kevin Blazs sentenced Williams to life in prison Tuesday.

Almost six months after entering a guilty plea to second-degree murder in Taylor Rose Williams’ death, the 30-year-old former Navy chief petty officer stood still, hands and feet in manacles, as the judge advised her fate.

The prosecution had argued for life in prison, while Williams’ public defender urged the minimum 20½-years during last week’s sentencing hearing.

Blazs told Williams he had spent the weekend poring over the evidence he heard and was presented. It included her “unstable” family life with claims of abuse and records showing Taylor’s death was in all probability “the consequence of starvation,” he said.

“The victim was not valued from the time of conception by either her father or mother,” the judge said. “Her mother suffered from an eating disorder. The father complained that the victim was not being properly fed. The defendant then removed the victim from child care about four months prior to the victim’s death. Taylor remained home alone and unprovided for throughout that time period.

Williams’ Nov. 6, 2019, claim that Taylor was missing from their Ivy Street home prompted a huge neighborhood search that soon expanded to her old apartment as an Amber Alert was issued. Some people told police they had not seen Taylor in weeks as then-Sheriff Mike Williams could not confirm the last time she was seen alive.

He said that while the mother initially cooperated in the investigation, she stopped after being confronted with some discrepancies in her story.

A multistate search ensued before ending on Nov. 12 when investigators found the child’s remains about 4 miles outside of Demopolis, Ala., near where Williams grew up, authorities said.

Williams was absentee-booked that day while hospitalized due to an attempt to kill herself when she learned her daughter’s body had been found, police said. Her arrest warrant stated she “did willfully torture, maliciously punish, or willfully cage” a child.

New details in the case were released in court records just over a year ago, a 22-page list of witness interviews and thousands of photos, videos, documents and records.

Although she was initially charged with child neglect and abuse, she pleaded guilty to second-degree murder this spring. That resulted in a three-day sentencing hearing last week, with 100-plus pieces of evidence referred and testimony from multiple people who knew her.

Detectives talked about finding children’s clothing and a bedroom carpet stained with feces at their apartment, her car wreaking of decomposition and the home on Ivy Street that did not “look like a child was living there.”

Investigators also procured Williams’ cellphone records to track her movements, showing she made three trips to Alabama, the third to Demopolis tracing her to just about where the body was ultimately found.

Neighbors testified about smelling something bad coming from the young woman’s storage closet and the child often spotted wandering unattended looking for her mother.

A psychologist described his evaluations of Williams being anxious and depressed, certainly showing some schizophrenia and mood disorders. She said she didn’t know what to do when she couldn’t find Taylor one day and discovered her cold and unresponsive in a closet. She wanted to bury her next to her grandfather.

Then Williams quietly told the judge she was too “scared, nervous” to read her final statement to him on Friday, so a member of the Public Defender’s Office did. In it, Williams said she knows what she did was wrong, admitting that she “lied and lied some more” about what happened.

“I failed as a mother, a protector and as a decent human being,” the statement read. “… and I didn’t take advantage of any timely opportunity to right my wrongs. I apologize to everyone affected by this tragedy. I am punished every day since losing my baby.”
A weekend of evidence re-examined

Tuesday the judge said he reread much of the evidence over the past few days. That included Williams’ school and Navy records, clinical psychological reports and Taylor’s autopsy as well as evidence of “what she did after the death and the desecration of the body afterward.”

While he found her lack of a past criminal record “unusual” and her Navy background “outstanding,” Blazs said there were many other “unresolved” issues. Regarding the psychological issues, the “court has taken all that testimony into consideration,” he said.

The judge pointed to a lot of evidence that showed no food in Williams’ Ivy Street home or the Southside apartment in the months leading up to Taylor’s death.

“There was no significant purchase of groceries during that time period,” Blazs said, noting Taylor also appeared small in evidence photos, apparently losing weight.

One Williams discovered her dead, “the defendant failed to report the death of her daughter,” he said. “She then lied to law enforcement repeatedly over the course of investigation in order to conceal what she had done, which was to transport the body out of state and dispose of the body, which this court construes as the consciousness of guilt.”

Finally, analysis of the child’s bones showed evidence of malnutrition, but no one will ever know for sure ” because the defendant disposed of the body in such a way that it prevented the analysis that would result in an expert opinion,”Blazs said.

In sentencing Willams to life, “I wanted to ensure that the community is protected and that the decision is rendered in a way that does not dishonor the death of Tayor Rose,” the judge said.

Williams was credited with 1,043 days time served awaiting sentencing.

“Brianna Williams’ elaborate lies initially concealed her terrible crime in the murder of her innocent daughter,” said State Attorney Melissa Nelson. “The dogged work by law enforcement and prosecutors brought the truth to light and, ultimately, justice was served for Taylor.”
