Domestic Violence Log - Trigger

[boston bean]

I think it is important for us to keep a listing of the women and children killed and abused by their husbands/boyfriends on a daily basis. I know this may be difficult for some and if you cannot participate I fully understand why.

I would like your help to aggregate these stories, if you can. There use to be a site where this was gathered, but it is no longer operable.

I think it is very powerful evidence of an epidemic in our country.

So, if you would like to help, please search the google news for news stories regarding domestic violence and place an entry for the day as a reply.

I will do the first, please try to keep within the format, if possible.

1. Aug 30, 2014 - Pittsburg County Sheriff: Argument Over Spilled Drink Leads To Shooting

PITTSBURG COUNTY, Oklahoma - A man is dead and his son is in critical condition after a shooting and suicide in McAlester late Friday night. The sheriff said heavy drinking and arguing led up to the shooting.

Pittsburg County Sheriff, Joel Kern, said the man was shot four times by his dad, who then turned the gun on himself. He said the dispute started when the son spilled Coke in the dad's car.

Kern said the dad, William Gibson, his wife and his son Aaron were at a festival where they were asked to leave for drinking excessively.

The sheriff said during their drive home to the 600 block of Pelican Lane, the son spilled Coke in the car, starting an argument. The argument moved to the son's garage apartment.

Once at home, around 11:30 Friday night, Kern said Gibson began choking his wife, threatening to kill her and his son. Gibson left his son's apartment and went to his home nearby, coming back with a 9 mm pistol, he said.

4. 'Frozen Ground' serial killer Hansen dead ( August 21st 2014)

This is personal-- he killed one of my friends.

Paul Brown / Anchorage Daily News
Infamous Alaska serial killer Robert Hansen died Thursday morning at an Anchorage hospital, according to the Department of Corrections.

Hansen died around 1:30 a.m. at Alaska Regional Hospital, Sherrie Daigle, deputy director of administrative services for the Department of Corrections, said. He had been transferred to the hospital on Wednesday. Cause of death will be determined by the medical examiner, but it appears he died of natural causes, she said. He had been in declining health for the past year, according to a press release.

“On this day we should only remember his many victims and all of their families and my heart goes out to all of them,” wrote Glenn Flothe, retired Alaska State Trooper who was instrumental in Hansen’s capture.

“As far as Hansen is concerned, this world is better without him.” Flothe wrote. “It’s a sad day for me, for their families.”

Hansen had been moved from the Spring Creek Correctional Center in Seward to the Anchorage Correctional Complex on May 11, Alaska Dispatch reported at the time. Hansen, 75, had been placed in medical segregation in Anchorage, which is akin to being in the hospital, Daigle said then. Anchorage’s jail is one of the state’s only correctional facilities with a medical unit.

Hansen had received a 461-year sentence in February 1984, pleading guilty to the murder of four women. Hansen had confessed to authorities that he had killed 17 women and raped another 30 women over more than a decade.

5. August 27, 2014 Napa man shoots wife, kills himself

32-year-old Napa man committed suicide after shooting and injuring his wife during an argument in their home Tuesday night, a Napa police captain said.

Police went to a residence in the 700 block of Central Avenue after they received a report about a man who threatened to kill his wife, two daughters and himself, Capt. Jeff Troendly said.

Soon after police arrived, they heard a gunshot inside the house and saw a female through a window in the home.

The woman, who turned out to be the man’s wife, was removed from the house through the window, Troendly said.

The woman, who had facial injuries, said she was shot in the hand during a struggle with her husband for a gun and said her husband was the only one in the house, Troendly said.

Police heard another gunshot a few minutes after the man’s wife was taken from the house.

6. San Francisco 49er arrested on Domestic Violence Charges ( August 31st 2014)

SAN JOSE, CALIF. — Police in Northern California say San Francisco 49er Ray McDonald has been arrested on domestic violence charges.

San Jose police Sgt. Heather Randol says the 29-year-old defensive end was taken into custody early Sunday after officers responded to a home in an upscale neighborhood.

McDonald was jailed on felony domestic violence charges.

He has been playing for San Francisco since he was drafted as a third round pick in 2007.

NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell announced tougher penalties last week for players accused of domestic violence.

San Francisco 49ers General Manager Trent Baalke said in a statement Sunday that the team takes "such matters" seriously but is not commenting on the allegations involving McDonald without more information.

7. Ummm...

Since when is domestic abuse and/or violence solely a man on woman and/or man on child thing?

I ask this as someone whose mother drank excessively for years, and endured many nights of being, at a minimum, screamed at for hours over the slightest trigger. I would really like an answer to this question.

There are just as many bad mothers as there are bad fathers. Domestic abuse/violence is a serious issue, and this thread was very poorly thought out.

Men-are-bad style feminism has NO place in the subject of domestic abuse and violence.

[boston bean]

8. ahem, this post is in regards to

women and children killed and abused by their husbands/boyfriends on a daily basis

This is also a feminist group.

I am going to ask you delete your response, you are clogging up this thread and you aren't posting in it for its intended purpose.

[Rod Beauvex]

11. No.

I will not.

It the mods decide it is too inflammatory, they can choose to delete it. If it gets hidden by a jury, that is fine to.

[mercuryblues]

65. If

you are so fucking concerned about Dv committed against men, start your own thread in the men's group. It will fit in nicely between the hot celebs thread and the whining that women on Du are making too much of a deal over the rape threats they received from posters on DU.

10. I really hoped we could focus on women.

I make no apologies for that, in this group.

Everyone understands that domestic violence can and does happen to men.

Women are killed more often, and beaten into a pulp beyond recognition more often.

I think it's an important distinction and something we can discuss here without being derailed, and be allowed to focus on the issue from a womans perspective.

[ismnotwasm]

12. I'll delete it

No problem.

[nomorenomore08]

18. But men kill and seriously injure women far more often than the reverse.

"There are just as many bad mothers as there are bad fathers."

I don't think this is a terribly controversial point. But it's not all that pertinent to the discussion.

14. Sept. 8th 2014 Husband kills wife, then self in Sampson Co. murder-suicide

CLINTON, N.C. -
The Sampson County Sheriff's Office says a 55-year-old woman was killed Friday by her estranged husband, sparking a manhunt that led to schools in two districts being put on lock down.


The sheriff's office said the body of Shirley Garcia, of Newton Grove, was discovered in the home of her employer Friday around 10 a.m. in the 4900 block of Old Warsaw Rd. in Clinton.

Shirley Garcia's estranged husband, 67-year-old Carmelo Garcia, was quickly named a suspect and a manhunt ensued to locate him.

During the course of the search for Carmelo Garcia, deputies said threats were made against other family members of Shirley Garcia, sparking lock downs at schools in the Hobbton and Midway Districts.

The sheriff's office said Carmelo Garcia was located shortly after 11 a.m. at 611 Henry Vann Farm Road, where it is believed he took his own life.

LAKELAND, Fla.- Authorities say a central Florida man fatally shot his wife before killing himself while their 10-year-old daughter was home.

The Ledger of Lakeland reports the child ran crying into the arms of an arriving deputy on Wednesday afternoon.

Inside deputies found the bodies of 46-year-old James "Kevin" Denny and his wife, 41-year-old Jennifer Denny. He was director of planning and zoning in Hardee County.

Polk County Sheriff Grady Judd says Kevin Denny called 911 and calmly asked deputies to come to the home. He didn't hang up, but put the phone on the bed and fired one more shot. The dispatcher heard the couple's daughter banging on the door "asking for her mommy and daddy."

26. Woman says Alaska Guard ignored rape complaints

ANCHORAGE, Alaska (AP) — A woman said Thursday she was drugged and raped while a member of the Alaska Army National Guard, but her complaints to guard commanders went nowhere.

"It was all just ignored," said Melissa Jones.

Jones, who now lives in Paris, Illinois, spoke at an Anchorage teleconference by phone Thursday at the invitation of the Alaska Women for Political Action. She said the trauma of the experience and the way she was treated by the guard led to a suicide attempt in 2011. She got counseling that same year and continues to get counseling today, said Jones, now a sergeant with the Illinois National Guard.

Jones said she and a large group of Alaska National Guard peers were at an Anchorage bar in 2007 when someone slipped something into her drink. She was incapacitated when she was sexually assaulted later at her apartment, and has no idea who her attacker or attackers were, she said.

LOUISVILLE, Ky. — A Kentucky teenager was killed in his home after trying to protect his mother from her estranged boyfriend, and the woman was abducted and later found dead in Ohio during a multistate police search, a sheriff said Friday.

The suspect, Terry Froman, 41, of Brookport, Ill., was taken into custody in the Cincinnati area and faced murder and kidnapping charges back in Kentucky, said Dewayne Redmon, the sheriff in Graves County in Western Kentucky. The suspect was taken to a hospital to be examined, he said.

29. Splatsin remember missing and murdered

Inside the Splatsin arbour in Enderby, located just off Highway 97A, four Splatsin First Nation members perform a prayer circle.

They surround a fire, kneeling on blankets. They are joined by Splatsin chief Wayne Christian Thursday, day three of the prayer circle which is being held to honour and remember the murdered or missing aboriginal women and men in Canada.

“People offer prayers to family and people who need support, we sing songs,” said Christian prior to joining the circle. “It’s just a process of spiritual help to get closure to what’s going on.”

The RCMP released a report in the spring highlighting 1,181 cases involving aboriginal women since 1980. Their findings showed aboriginal women made up 4.3 per cent of the Canadian population, but accounted for 16 per cent of female homicides, and 11.3 per cent of missing women.

30. Family of Deceased Indigenous woman Suing Toronto police for 14 million

The family of an Indigenous woman that died in Toronto under suspicious circumstances is suing Toronto police for $14 million alleging the force was negligent in the events leading up to her death in April 2013 and during the subsequent police investigation that labeled it a suicide.

Cheyenne Fox’s family alleges Toronto police didn’t properly respond to two 911 calls prior to Fox’s death April 25, 2013 when she fell to her death from a 24th floor balcony of a Toronto condo according to a statement of claim filed in Peterborough court Friday and obtained by APTN National News.

None of the allegations have been proven in court and all defendents, including Toronto police, are expected to be served Monday.

The family also name, for the first time, the man last with Fox in the narrative obtained from the claim.

Fox died at about 11 p.m. that night, but the first 911 call came in at approximately 6 p.m. from someone who witnessed Fox jump from a moving taxicab on Highway 401.

It’s alleged she lept from the “still moving” cab because the driver was sexually assaulting her.

Two people stopped and picked her up on the side of the highway.

The document states they drove Fox to her destination at 80 Harrison Blvd. to meet an alleged “custumer” as she was working as a sex worker, potentially forced into it by a human trafficking ring.

The second 911 call came about two hours later at 8 p.m.

It was by the man she allegedly was going to meet – Bahram Sheibani, also named as a defendant in the lawsuit.

Sheibani resided at unit 2419 of the Don Mills condo building and he allegedly called police upon Fox’s arrival who he claimed was intoxicated, trespassing and refusing to leave his place.

A down-on-his luck dad wrote in a suicide note that he killed his wife and teen son, then torched the family’s Queens apartment before taking his own life to spare them all, cops said Tuesday.

A twisted Jong Lee, 50, wrote of the angst behind killing his wife, Sung Lee, 54, and son, Brian Lee, 15, in a letter to a relative that police found at the tragic scene in sixth-story apartment in Flushing, a law enforcement source said.

“If I died by myself it would be too much problems for my wife and kid,” Lee wrote, according to the source. “Therefore, we are all leaving. Please understand.”

32. Sept. 14 2014 Authorities: Man murdered ex-wife, killed himself in Allentown

ALLENTOWN, Pa. -
Authorities say a man murdered his ex-wife, then killed himself, right on a sidewalk in front of stunned neighbors. It happened Sunday morning on a normally quiet East Allentown block.

The Lehigh County coroner said Mouwaffak Mahkoul, 51, shot himself to death after killing his former spouse, Etab Mahkoul, 36.

The killings happened in the 1900 block of Greenleaf Street, just outside the home Etab Mahkoul shared with her son and a young family of tenants.

"I was coming up Union Boulevard and I heard two gunshots and then another one went off," said Leon Wagner, who lives nearby.

OLYMPIA — A man who poured lighter fluid on his wife’s legs and set her on fire was sentenced Tuesday in Olympia to more than six years in prison.

It was the second sentencing for Duane M. Rader who had a previous 10-year sentence for arson and assault overturned on appeal.

The Olympian reports Rader pleaded guilty to the same charges. His wife suffered second-degree burns in the assault three years ago at their Thurston County home.

Rader has been at the Airway Heights Corrections Center since his 2011 trial. His lawyer, Patrick O’Connor, says the 15-year Army veteran who had three overseas tours used alcohol to self-medicate post-traumatic stress disorder.

Ex-boyfriend charged in January strangling of Kirkland woman

The ex-boyfriend of a 28-year-old Kirkland mother who was found strangled in January was charged today with second-degree murder.

Before the body of Amy Rene Hargrove was found Jan. 6 in her mother’s Kirkland home, she had taken out a protection order pointing police to her ex-boyfriend in the event anything happened to her. “A piece of paper isn’t going to save my life when he finally gets me,” she wrote in the court document, “but at least you will know who killed me.”

The former boyfriend, Burrell M. Cushman, 28, was interviewed by detectives immediately after Hargrove’s slaying. Kirkland police said Cushman was considered a person of interest, but the investigation continued for months.

Kirkland police had previously said investigators were frustrated with the length of time it took to make an arrest, but that certain elements of their probe could not be rushed.

Police spokesman Mike Murray said detectives had to eliminate other potential suspects as well as wait for the results of crime lab tests before they could submit the completed investigation to King County prosecutors.

Burien man accused of killing ex-wife, leaving body in car at park and ride


A judge found probable cause on Tuesday to hold a 41-year-old Burien man on investigation of second-degree murder after he told Seattle police late Sunday that he though his ex-wife was dead and that her body was in a vehicle at a Kent Park and Ride.

The man waived his first court appearance Tuesday and a bond hearing is scheduled for Wednesday, according to a spokesman for King County prosecutors. The man has not been charged.

Also Tuesday, the King County Medical Examiner’s Office identified the victim as 39-year-old Ruth Castillo-Yanez. She died from multiple stab wounds and her death was ruled a homicide, according to death investigators.

Around 10:20 p.m. Sunday, police contacted a man in the 4700 block of 50th Avenue South in Seattle’s Seward Park neighborhood, according to the probable-cause statement outlining the case against him. His clothes were bloody and his shirt was inside-out, the statement says.

Police: Ex-boyfriend of missing woman killed himself

Updated: Sep 17, 2014 11:44 AM EDT

MIAMI (WSVN) -- The ex-boyfriend of a missing woman, Tanya Gonzalez, stabbed himself after sheriff deputies located him on Big Coppitt Key.

Family members and 7News sources said the body of the missing 28-year-old was found in the trunk of her abandoned car in Miami, Tuesday morning. Police, however, have not confirmed that information, and on Wednesday morning, they said they were still working to positively identify the body. "At this moment our medical examiner is still analyzing all the evidence," said Miami Police Sgt. Freddie Cruz. "We do know we have a body. We're still trying to find out who it belongs to. We have not confirmed that this is the body of Tanya Gonzalez."

Tuesday evening, the woman's father spoke out about the pain of his loss. Ramon Gonzalez said, "I want to thank everybody who tried to find my baby, but we find her, and I want to thank everybody, and I tell every parent, hug your kids today," he said tearing up. "Hug them tomorrow. Teach them, keep them safe, keep them safe. Give them a lot of hugs and kisses. We live on borrowed time. You never think this will happen to you, look where I am. Love each other, love your babies. Take care of them very much."

According to Monroe County Sheriff's deputies, 33-year-old Roy Blanco, who was wanted as a person of interest in Gonzalez's disappearance about a week ago, was in the Florida Keys with a woman who is believed to be his mother. They closed in on him just before 3 p.m....

Cardinals' Dwyer Arrested on Assault Charges
PHOENIX — Sep 17, 2014, 9:49 PM ET
By JOSH HOFFNER Associated Press

http://abcnews.go.com/Sports/wireStory/cardinals-rb-arrested-assault-charges-25580293

Arizona Cardinals running back Jonathan Dwyer was arrested Wednesday on aggravated assault charges in connection with two altercations at his home in July involving a woman and their 18-month-old child, the latest in a string of such cases involving NFL players.

--snip--

Authorities depicted a stormy relationship between Dwyer and the woman that escalated into violence on July 21, four days before the Cardinals reported to training camp.

Neighbors heard a fight and called police, who showed up at the residence but left without making an arrest because Dwyer hid in the bathroom and the woman said no one else was at the home, Sgt. Trent Crump said.

"She said she was in an argument on the phone only," Crump said.

The next day, Crump said, Dwyer snatched the woman's cellphone and threw it from the second floor of their residence to prevent her from calling police about another dispute.

Crump confirmed there was an allegation that Dwyer threw a shoe at or toward his son. Crump said he couldn't elaborate on it.

Crump said the woman moved out of state with the child, but came forward last week and provided police with information about her injuries and text messages indicating Dwyer "was going to harm himself because of what had been going on."

39. Black Teen Girls Killed

Two teen girls were found dead in Duval County, Florida and now, we wait for answers and the predictable lack of outrage from people who might typically deem a double murder to be cause for such.
According to local ABC affiliate WFST, the bodies of Angelia Mangum, 19, and Tjhisha Ball, 18 were spotted on the side of a road around 1 a.m. yesterday. The bodies were reportedly bound with zip ties and on top of one another.
The few reports about the story have cited the women’s criminal records (neither of which are worth mentioning here). Ball’s sister, Crystal Moore told ABC Action News that the two women were close friends and had been working in the Jacksonville area as exotic dancers.
Heartbreakingly, Ball’s mother Jerlean Moore told ABC "I feel like sometimes that I failed. What could I have done? What could I have taught her better?”
It isn’t unreasonable to expect for a grieving family to wish that their dead loved one hadn’t worked in the sex industry, one where women are often subject to increased abuse and harassment at the hands of clients, employers and law enforcement alike. Thus, there should be no judgment from any of us about Ball’s lament about her daughter’s work. But what I fear will happen here is a general sentiment among media makers and the public that because these women were sex workers, that their deaths are not cause for outrage and fear.

In addition to the millions of women who will be the victims of domestic violence, let us not forget the women who commit suicide because they see no way out of an abusive relationship. One in four women in an abusive relation will attempt suicide though I have no stats on how many of those actually die in the U.S. (in the UK the estimate is three per week).
