He Didn’t Deny Being A White Supremacist. Then He Was Elected To City Council
Judson Blevins, a city commissioner in Enid, Oklahoma, won’t refute evidence tying him to a secretive fascist group. Does the city care enough to recall him from office?Four years earlier, in 2019, journalists and anti-fascists had published research identifying Blevins as a leader in the now-defunct white nationalist group Identity Evropa. Blevins announced his candidacy for city council in late 2022, prompting the local newspaper to publish an article rehashing all the evidence of his connections to the group. But voters in Ward 1 of Enid elected Blevins anyway. And since Blevins took his oath of office, the mayor and other city commissioners have remained largely silent about his past.
Off-Duty Police Officer Punches Driver in the Face. Suspended for 5 days
Shocking video captured the moment an off-duty Connecticut cop punched a motorist. The drama started when Thomas Brocuglio honked his horn to get the driver in front of him to make a turn. The angry pickup driver got out of his vehicle, walked over to Brocuglio’s van and punched him in the face. Police found the suspect at home. Turns out, the suspect was a cop himself. Corporal Ganter was suspended for five days without pay and must attend anger management training for the next three years.

A nurse accused of murdering eight babies in an alleged 'year-long killing spree' at a hospital neonatal unit in Chester has appeared in court.
Lucy Letby, 31, appeared at Manchester Crown Court for a case management hearing via videolink from HMP Peterborough.
Letby, originally from Hereford, is alleged to have murdered five baby boys and three baby girls while working at the Countess of Chester Hospital.

Lucy Letby, 31, was charged with eight counts of murder and nine counts of attempted murder
The Chester University graduate, who was once the face of a £3million fundraising campaign, is also accused of the attempted murder of five baby boys and five baby girls between June 2015 and June 2016.
She was arrested in 2018 and 2019 as part of a police investigation at the hospital, which was launched in 2017.
Police launched the investigation after the hospital raised concerns at the high number of deaths between March 2015 and July 2016 - which were said to be 10 per cent above average.

Letby appeared before Manchester Crown Court for a case management hearing on Monday
An internal inquiry was undertaken when medics found premature babies had died following heart and lung failure, but were unusually impossible to resuscitate.
Letby appeared before Mr Justice Dove at the brief hearing on Monday wearing a dark shirt and blue jeans. She spoke only to confirm her name and that she was able to hear the proceedings.
A provisional date for her trial has been set for January 11 next year, but there is a possibility that this could be delayed.

DNA tests that arrive in the mail, including Ancestry DNA and 23&me, are exposing the uncomfortable extent of incest in the US.
The tests, which run for about $100, can't say explicitly whether someone is the product of incest, but the results can be taken to a third party genetic testing firm which can.
One person who found out the disturbing truth about her family history was 39-year-old Victoria Hill, who, at a high school reunion, got chatting about family trees with an ex-boyfriend with whom she was once intimate.
His family makeup was similar to hers and upon talking to her, took the same test. A text sent to her confirmed what they had feared, saying simply: 'You're my sister.' Ms Hill says she is still traumatized to this day.
Meanwhile, Virginia native Steve Edsel, found out via AncestryDNA that his parents were first-degree relatives, either siblings or father-daughter.
He radiated anger at the thought of the origins of his conception, likely the result of sexual assault of his mother carried out by his grandfather.

The prevalence of incest in the US is far more common than previously thought, with research including common genealogy tests putting the rate at one in 7,000.
Dr Jim Wilson, from the University of Edinburgh who conducted that research, said: 'That’s way, way more than I think many people would ever imagine.’
It’s a far cry from one 1975 estimate in a psychiatric textbook, putting the rate at about one in a million.
DNA tests that arrive in the mail, including Ancestry and 23&me, can be helpful tools in determining whether someone has genetic predispositions for certain conditions.
Still, they occasionally learn the disturbing truth about their parentage.
Babies born of incest are at increased risk of suffering birth defects, developmental delays, and genetic disorders such as blindness, hearing loss, neonatal diabetes, and limb malformations.
The risks of two siblings or a parent and child having a baby are manifold. When two closely related people have sex, and the female becomes pregnant, there is an increased risk of recessive gene disorders.
19 states where you can still marry your cousin - despite health risks
Despite known health risks of inbreeding, marriages between first cousins are still permitted in 19 states and DC [shown]. The Whittaker family, shown here, is the most famous inbred family in the US.
This is because children receive one copy of genes from each parent, with the harmful genetic mutations known as recessive genes being overridden by dominant genes.
When related individuals get pregnant, they decrease genetic variations, and the recessive gene they have may combine to become dominant in their child, causing many types of congenital disabilities.
In cases of incestual relationships, genetic variations from two parents decrease, and recessive genes may combine to become dominant in the child, resulting in a higher risk of a range of disorders, including low IQ, cleft palate, heart conditions, cystic fibrosis, and infant death.
People born of incest may feel like they cannot reproduce for fear of giving birth to a baby with life-threatening genetic anomalies.
One such person is 64-year-old Teresa Weiler. She found out in 1985 that her father was her mother’s brother.
She said: ‘It was only when I was walking the streets afterwards, in a daze, that it hit me: I could never be a mum.
‘There was no way I could risk having a damaged baby. I would have to give up the one thing I wanted most in the world.’
Steve, meanwhile, was born with a heart murmur that required two surgeries when he was a teen, a possible product of two sets of the same genes and mutations, though he and his wife Michelle, who has helped him on his search for the truth, can’t say for sure that his incestual origins were the cause.
Steve grew up in a foster home and was always curious about his biological family. He took his Ancestry test as part of a quest to track down his birth mom, who had given him up shortly after giving birth when she was 14, according to the Atlantic.
He also enlisted the help of CeCe Moore. Who specializes in locating people using distant DNA matches, a method that found and led to the imprisonment of the Golden State Killer.
Since working on Steve’s case, Ms Moore now knows of well over 1,000 additional cases of people born from incest.
Most of those cases were between first-degree relatives, while the rest were the product of second-degree relatives, like half-siblings, uncle-niece, and grandparent-grandchild.
Steve was able to find a support group online set up by Ms Moore for people in his situation, and members have complained of a host of issues, including autoimmune diseases, fibromyalgia, and eye problems. However, it’s difficult to pin down incest as the cause.
One support group member, Mandy, whose last name was withheld for her privacy, found out her father was her mother’s uncle. Her mother, a cruel woman, was 17 when she gave birth to Mandy, while her uncle was in his 30s.
Her mother treated her worse than her younger brothers, and Mandy now understands that to be the reason behind her mother’s cruelty. But the situation still makes her uneasy.
She said: ‘When I go to the doctor and they ask me my family history, I wonder: “How much do I need to go into it?”’
Typically if someone wants to test for a possible incestuous relationship, they have to upload their genetic material to a third-party service. It’s not something that AncestryDNA or 23&Me disclose to customers.
The third-party tests look for runs of homozygosity, or ROH for short. The genomes of children born of incest show an ‘absence of heterozygosity,’ which explains why their DNA contains big chunks that show the father’s and mother’s genetic contributions are identical because they themselves shared much of their genetic code.

DNA tests mailed out by major companies have uncovered other troubling family secrets that have thrown people’s lives into a tailspin.
Iin Connecticut, Ms Hill said she was left 'traumatized' after realizing she had unknowingly committed incest with her high school boyfriend.
She told CNN she only found out the man she had grown up thinking was her dad was not her biological father after taking the home DNA test.
Ms Hill said: 'I'll just put it out there, I was intimate with my half brother.
'I was traumatized by this,' Hill added. 'Now I'm looking at pictures of people thinking, well, if he could be my sibling, anybody could be my sibling.'
In Denver, influencer and realtor Celina Quinones decided to take a DNA test in 2016. It revealed that she and her husband had a genetic match of 62 centimorgan - a unit of measuring genetic linkage - meaning they share ancestors eight generations back.
She said: 'I was in shock. I was a little depressed over it, to be honest. But this was after we already had three kids, and all of them were healthy.
'They have 10 fingers, 10 toes, but it was just a shock.'
Incestual relationships have received increased interest and attention in recent years, in part thanks to a 2004 documentary about the deformed, inbred Whittaker family in Odd, West Virginia.
When visiting the family, DailyMail.com was welcomed by several members, including Ray, who can only communicate via barks and grunts, and who insisted on showing reporters around the property.

Currently living at the dilapidated homestead are siblings Ray, Betty, Larry and Lorene, as well as her son Timmy, all of them struggling with heartbreaking mental and physical conditions.
Ray appeared to suffer the most and excitedly communicated through noises, pointing to show items at their home in a childlike manner.
The siblings are the descendants of two sets of first cousins who got married. DailyMail.com previously revealed that the bloodline continued with a set of identical twin brothers whose children got married.
John and Henry Whittaker were born in 1897. John went on to marry his own first cousin Ada Riggs – the daughter of Mary Perkins, who was the sister of John and Henry's mother Eliza.
Ada and John had nine children, including Gracie Irene Whittaker who was born in 1920. John's brother Henry married Sally Burton and they had seven children, including John Emory Whittaker, born in 1913.
Gracie and John were first cousins, but married in November 1935 and had their first child in 1937, having 15 in total.
Many members of the family have suffered from a heart attack, while two did not make it through infancy. Some of the 15 children died early of an array of illnesses, including heart attack and cancer, believed to be tied to inbreeding

YouTube mom Ruby Franke to plead guilty in child abuse case, attorney says
Franke says she is a victim of manipulation by her therapist.

This image from video provided by the Utah State Courts shows Ruby Franke during a virtual court appearance, on Sept. 8, 2023, in St. George, Utah.
Utah State Courts via AP
For the first time since her arrest, Ruby Franke and her attorney have broken their silence regarding her criminal charges. The popular YouTube celebrity who is charged with several counts of aggravated child abuse said through her attorney LaMar Winward on Saturday that she will plead guilty to the charges against her Monday at the Washington County 5th District Court in Utah.
Franke's business partner and mental health counselor Jodi Hildebrant also faces six counts of aggravated child abuse. Both women were arrested Aug. 30 after Franke's 12-year-old son, who had been staying at Hildebrandt's house, climbed out of a window, ran to a neighbor's home and told the neighbor that he had been abused.
Hildebrant has not yet entered a plea to the charges.
The Santa Clara-Ivins police in Utah said in a statement that the child "appeared to be emaciated and malnourished, with open wounds and duct tape around the extremities." Upon searching the home, police said they found Franke's 10-year-old daughter in the same condition. All of Franke's four minor children were placed into state care, according to police.
Search warrants obtained by ABC News allege Hildebrandt used cayenne pepper and honey to dress the children's wounds.
In this photo posted to the Moms of Truth Instagram page, Ruby Franke is shown.
@moms_of_truth/Instagram
Both women have remained in custody since their arrest.
In his statement, Winward described Franke as a devoted mother committed to constant improvement. He said his client was a victim of "manipulation."
"Initially, Ms. Franke believed that Jodi Hildebrant had the insight to offer a path to continual improvement. Ms. Hildebrant took advantage of this quest and twisted it into something heinous. Over an extended period, Ms. Hildebrant systematically isolated Ruby Franke from her extended family, older children, and her husband, Kevin Franke. This prolonged isolation resulted in Ms. Franke being subjected to a distorted sense of morality."
Ruby Franke's attorneys say that since her incarceration, she has been "actively engaged in an introspection that has allowed her to reset her moral compass and understand the full weight of her actions." She is "committed to taking responsibility for the part she played" in the events that led to her arrest, and she is already communicating with family members "to mend relationships and contribute positively to the healing journey of her family," according to the statement from her attorneys.
Franke and Hildebrandt were business partners in ConneXions, an organization that promises to "encourage healing and facilitate personal growth through impeccable honesty, rigorous personal responsibility and vulnerable humility," according to its website. Hildebrandt is listed as the founder while Franke is listed as "a certified mental fitness trainer." Franke also operated "8 Passengers," a now defunct YouTube channel that offered parenting advice.
Attorneys for Hildebrandt and Kevin Franke did not immediately respond to ABC News' requests for comment.
Kevin Franke filed a petition for divorce last month. In an interview with "Good Morning America" in September, an attorney for the husband said he had been separated from his wife for over a year and had no knowledge of the alleged abuse.

Teen Flips Porsche Taycan 6 Times After Crashing At Nearly 100 MPH
Three people were injured after a 19-year-old woman driving a Porsche Taycan at nearly 100 mph lost control and flipped at least six times through a Michigan gas station and into a parking lot. The crash happened in the early morning of March 16 in Ann Arbor, Michigan.
Police say speed (obviously) and alcohol are likely factors in the crash. A 20-year-old passenger suffered “significant injuries” and is in critical condition, but is expected to survive, according to ABC7 Detroit. Another 19-year-old passenger and the driver also suffered more minor injuries.
In the 11-second surveillance footage clip released by Ann Arbor Police on YouTube, we can see the Taycan speeding down the road when the driver attempted to make a left turn. From the looks of it, she clipped a curb and lost control. She then hit another curb sideways, and that’s what sent the car airborne. From there, the car flipped multiple times through a gas station and eventually came to a rest in an adjacent parking lot.
Seatbelts apparently played a big factor in why all three people inside the car were able to survive this nasty wreck.
“It shows the importance of wearing your seatbelt. Seatbelts save lives and that was a very big reason all three occupants were able to survive this violet crash, police told ABC7 Detroit.
