Windcrest Man Arrested for Allegedly Photographing Pool Rental Guests, Including Children, with Hidden Camera

Joe Anthony Gonzales, a 62-year-old man from Windcrest, Texas, has been arrested and charged with possession or promotion of lewd visual material depicting a child. The investigation began on September 2 after a woman reported that while she and her two 7-year-old granddaughters were undressed in an outdoor bathroom at Gonzales's property, one of the children noticed someone taking photos through a hole in the wall. The woman also saw hands holding a camera through the opening. Another 17-year-old guest reported seeing eyes looking through the same hole while she was changing. Police found a brick-sized hole in the bathroom wall, which led to a garage where plywood was propped against the opening. Although Gonzales denied the allegations, he consented to a search of his phone, where officers discovered over 300 deleted photos and videos, including images of young females and a video of a minor at a track meet where Gonzales zoomed in on the girl. The affidavit suggests Gonzales may have committed voyeurism...

Texas Man Sentenced to 20 Years for Manslaughter in 1980s 'Texas Killing Fields' Teen Death

Texas Man Sentenced to 20 Years for Manslaughter in 1980s 'Texas Killing Fields' Teen Death

James Elmore Jr. has been sentenced to 20 years in prison by a Galveston County jury after being convicted of manslaughter in the 1986 death of Laura Miller. Miller's body was found in the notorious 'Texas Killing Fields' in League City, Texas. Elmore, 61, was found to have helped administer a cocaine dose that led to Laura Miller's death. Laura Miller went missing in 1984, and her remains were discovered two years later. The case gained renewed attention when Elmore contacted Laura's father, Tim Miller, in 2022, admitting his presence during her death. This led to multiple meetings and a video recording of Elmore revisiting locations related to the death, which was later presented as evidence. Investigators believe Elmore prepared the cocaine vial that his longtime friend, Clyde Hedrick, gave to Laura. Hedrick, who investigators suspected was responsible for other deaths in the 'Texas Killing Fields,' died by suicide in March at age 72, shortly before prosecutors sought to indict him and Elmore.

ICE Agent Federally Charged with Lying in Shooting of Venezuelan Immigrant

ICE Agent Federally Charged with Lying in Shooting of Venezuelan Immigrant

An Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agent, Christian Castro, has been federally charged with making false statements regarding the shooting of a Venezuelan immigrant. These federal charges come after local prosecutors in Minnesota had already charged Castro with second-degree assault and making a false report earlier this year. The incident involved Castro shooting 24-year-old Julio Cesar Sosa-Celis in the leg. Federal prosecutors initially charged Sosa-Celis and another man with assaulting an ICE officer, but these charges were dropped after surveillance footage and other evidence contradicted Castro’s account. The shooting occurred after ICE officers attempted to pull over a truck belonging to an undocumented immigrant, Joffre Barrera. Sosa-Celis’ cousin, Alfredo Alejandro Aljorna, was driving the truck and fled from officers. Sosa-Celis stated that after he and Aljorna were inside his apartment, a shot was fired, and he realized he had been shot in the leg. Castro and a second agent were placed...
