Teen daughter accused of double homicide
On the morning of February 20, 2025, Patrick's six-year-old sister made a gruesome discovery—her mother, Kristin Brock, 41, and stepfather, James Brock, 45, lying lifeless in their bedroom. Both had suffered fatal gunshot wounds. The teen suspect was the one who placed the 911 call that morning, triggering what would become a months-long, intensive investigation.

Haunted by Annabelle? Paranormal investigator dies after touring with ‘demonic' doll
Dan Rivera, a 54-year-old paranormal investigator and US Army veteran, died unexpectedly Sunday night while on tour with the infamous and allegedly haunted Annabelle doll, organisers confirmed. Rivera had just completed a sold-out, three-day stop in Gettysburg, Pennsylvania, as part of his 'Devils on the Run Tour' when he was found unresponsive in his hotel room, New York Post reported. According to The Evening Sun, firefighters and medics rushed to the scene after receiving a report of CPR in progress. Despite emergency efforts, Rivera was pronounced dead at the scene. The New England Society for Psychic Research (NESPR), where Rivera served as lead investigator, confirmed his death on Monday. 'His exact cause of death remains unclear,' the group stated. Authorities have said the incident did not appear suspicious, but a formal investigation is ongoing. Rivera was widely known in the paranormal community for his work on the Travel Channel's Most Haunted Places and as a producer on Netflix's 28 Days Haunted. He used social media, particularly viral TikToks, to bring new audiences into the world of paranormal research and the legacy of Ed and Lorraine Warren. As part of the NESPR team, Rivera had been touring the US with the original Annabelle doll — a Raggedy Ann figure famously tied to a string of supernatural claims dating back to the 1970s. The Warrens, pioneers in the field of paranormal investigation and founders of NESPR, alleged that the doll had physically moved on its own, stalked people, and even caused violent accidents, including a stabbing and a car crash involving a priest. Annabelle was initially gifted to a nursing student in Connecticut named Donna, who first reported the disturbing activity. A psychic medium later claimed the doll was inhabited by the spirit of a six-year-old girl named Annabelle, while the Warrens concluded it was actually demonically possessed. It now resides in the Warrens' occult museum in Connecticut, which has been closed to the public since 2019 due to zoning issues. Tony Spera, the Warrens' son-in-law and current caretaker of their legacy, continues to bring the doll on tour across the US. Rivera was one of the key figures in this travelling exhibit, helping to reintroduce the doll's chilling lore to younger generations. 'I have so many amazing memories with this guy,' fellow paranormal investigator Ryan Buell wrote in a tribute on TikTok. 'Just as recently as two months ago, we traveled around the country and introduced a whole new generation to Ed and Lorraine Warren's legacy.' Rivera is survived by his wife, Sarah, and their four children. The Annabelle doll, now world-famous through 'The Conjuring' film universe — the highest-grossing horror franchise of all time — has continued to stoke public fascination. Earlier this year, conspiracy theorists falsely linked the doll to a prison breakout and a fire in Louisiana after it passed through New Orleans. Spera swiftly dismissed the rumours, telling The Post that the doll had never been 'out of our control.' Despite its fearsome reputation, the Warrens maintained that the doll was securely locked away in a blessed container — and warned against treating it as a harmless curiosity.

Home department goes after credit society directors to recover defrauded funds
Mumbai: The state home department has ordered the attachment of properties of 18 persons accused in a ₹33.95-crore scam in Jaimuni Cooperative Patpedhi Limited, a Vasai-based credit society. Apartments, land parcels and commercial properties owned by the accused – including developers, businessmen and directors and office-bearers of the credit society – will be auctioned to recover the deposits of account holders in the credit society, as per the notification issued by the home department last week. The notification was issued under sections 4(1) and 5(1) of the Maharashtra Protection of Interest of Depositors (MPID) Act, 1999, which authorise the government to recover the amount defrauded from depositors by selling properties of the accused including directors and employees of financial institutions. The notification was issued after the economic offences wing of the Mira-Bhayandar Vasai-Virar police and the Palghar collector submitted reports on properties of the accused to the home department. The reports were submitted following directions from the special MPID court in Palghar which is hearing the case. Properties that will be attached include 17 flats and two houses of Jaywant Naik, the main accused; 6.11 acres of land belonging to developer Avinash Dhole; and an apartment owned by businessman Mintu Shah. The list also includes residential apartments of the credit society's former chief executive officer Rajesh Rawal; former chairman Vasant Naik and his son Swapnil Naik; deputy chairman Nitin Patil; directors Krishna Naik, Kumar Naik, Pratibha Naik, Surendra Raut, Vasant Joshi, Hemlata Naik, Manohar Patil and Vijay Baswant; and employee Manisha Mhatre. The properties will be attached and auctioned by the sub-divisional officer of Palghar, who has been appointed as competent authority in the case, said a senior official from the home department. 'The valuation of the properties has been done by the Collector's office,' the official said. The money recovered from the auction will be distributed among 408 depositors who cumulatively lost ₹33.95 crore, in keeping with their investments, the official noted. 'The home department is also planning to amend the MPID Act to hike the penalty and imprisonment for the accused from the existing ₹1 lakh fine and/ or six years of imprisonment,' he said. The scam came to light in June 2018 after depositors filed complaints regarding Jaimuni Cooperative Patpedhi Limited not returning their deposits. The credit society's financial troubles began after some directors approved loans to purchase 159 flats in buildings owned by Avinash Dhole and other builders. While many of the flats had already been mortgaged by their original buyers, fresh loans were advanced in the name of local vegetable vendors via collusion between Dhole, Jaywant Naik and Mintu Shah, who produced forged documents, and Vasant Naik, Nitin Patil and Rajesh Rawal, who approved the loans. Rajesh Naik, director of the reconstituted board of Jaimuni Cooperative Patpedhi Limited, said some former directors of the society were directly involved in the scam while others were guilty of omission of duty and did not secure any financial benefits. 'Our management analysed 3,800 transactions to establish the money trail which helped the investigating agency frame charges,' said Naik. The reconstituted credit society has been allotted A grade in its audit.
