- 0:08Speaker 2: ends with a dramatic rescue in Oregon after a 10-year-old
- 0:12Speaker 2: girl is found alive, bound with duct tape inside a closet.
- 0:17Speaker 2: The terrifying sequence of events began early Wednesday morning, October 28th,
- 0:21Speaker 2: inside a home in Canby, Oregon. Authorities say an intruder
- 0:26Speaker 2: breached the apartment around 1.40 a.m., unleashing sudden violence before
- 0:30Speaker 2: taking a sleeping child. At a press conference, Canby Police
- 0:34Speaker 2: Captain Murphy detailed the initial moments of the home invasion.
- 0:38Speaker 1: At approximately 1.39 a.m., an unknown male reportedly entered the
- 0:43Speaker 1: apartment and violently assaulted a 12-year-old girl before taking her
- 0:48Speaker 1: 10-year-old sister, Violet Hay.
- 0:51Speaker 2: A police source reveals the suspect struck the 12-year-old's sister
- 0:55Speaker 2: with a hammer, leaving her injured before she was rushed
- 0:58Speaker 2: to the hospital for treatment. With 10-year-old Violet Hay missing,
- 1:02Speaker 2: local investigators teamed up with federal authorities in an urgent manhunt.
- 1:07Speaker 2: That search quickly led detectives to a residence in neighboring
- 1:10Speaker 2: Oregon City. Nearly 13 hours after the child vanished into
- 1:15Speaker 2: the night, tactical teams moved in. Captain Murphy described the
- 1:19Speaker 2: dramatic conclusion of that raid.
- 1:21Speaker 1: She was located at a residence at approximately 245 this
- 1:25Speaker 1: afternoon in Oregon City. SWAT took the suspect into custody
- 1:29Speaker 1: and she was found safe and alive.
- 1:31Speaker 2: According to a statement from the U.S. Marshals Service, officers
- 1:34Speaker 2: found the child tied up in a closet, duct taped
- 1:37Speaker 2: and trapped inside a duffel bag. Federal authorities arrested Vince
- 1:42Speaker 2: Edgar Chavez in Oregon City, who allegedly attempted to flee
- 1:46Speaker 2: out the back of the house as officers entered. Investigators
- 1:50Speaker 2: took him into custody without further incident. Chavez's roommate spoke
- 1:54Speaker 2: off-camera to local station KATU, expressing shock and disgust upon
- 1:59Speaker 2: learning the abducted child had been held captive inside their
- 2:03Speaker 2: shared home, adding that Chavez had not exhibited any concerning signs.
- 2:08Speaker 2: Authorities note that formal charges against Chavez are not immediately clear.
- 2:13Speaker 2: More crime and justice news after this. Heartbreak in Oklahoma
- 2:19Speaker 2: and North Texas, where a missing four-year-old boy has been
- 2:23Speaker 2: found dead alongside his father in what investigators confirm was
- 2:27Speaker 2: a devastating murder-suicide following a missed custody exchange. Andreas, known
- 2:33Speaker 2: affectionately as Harry Furley, was officially reported missing on October
- 2:37Speaker 2: 12th after his 25-year-old father, Caleb Furley, failed to meet
- 2:41Speaker 2: the child's mother. Norman police and the Oklahoma Department of
- 2:45Speaker 2: Public Safety immediately issued an Amber Alert noting that the
- 2:49Speaker 2: father was last seen with the child on October 11th
- 2:52Speaker 2: and was believed to be under the influence of drugs
- 2:55Speaker 2: or alcohol. Prior to the tragic discovery, Oklahoma authorities had
- 3:00Speaker 2: secured an arrest warrant charging Caleb Furley with parental kidnapping.
- 3:04Speaker 2: The search ended nearly 120 miles away in Gainesville, Texas.
- 3:09Speaker 2: According to the Gainesville Police Department, someone at a local
- 3:12Speaker 2: business reported a suspicious interaction with an adult man and
- 3:16Speaker 2: child on October 12. Early on October 14, a relative
- 3:20Speaker 2: notified detectives that the pair had been seen there. Surveillance
- 3:24Speaker 2: footage confirmed Caleb and Andreas walking away from the business
- 3:28Speaker 2: on October 12, directing search teams to where both bodies
- 3:31Speaker 2: were recovered. The Dallas County Medical Examiner's Office ruled the
- 3:35Speaker 2: child's death a homicide from a gunshot wound to the head.
- 3:40Speaker 2: The medical examiner confirmed Caleb Furley also died from a
- 3:43Speaker 2: self-inflicted gunshot wound to the head. Andreas was laid to
- 3:47Speaker 2: rest following a funeral service in Texas, remembered on an
- 3:51Speaker 2: obituary page as sweet, loving, and peaceful, while a GoFundMe
- 3:55Speaker 2: assists his grieving mother. In Idaho, outrage follows a controversial
- 4:01Speaker 2: sentence for a 22-year-old man accused of sexually assaulting a
- 4:05Speaker 2: 15-year-old girl in his Tesla after a judge ordered him
- 4:09Speaker 2: into a treatment program instead of prison. Crew Zogg was
- 4:14Speaker 2: arrested May 29, 2025, charged with rape of a victim
- 4:18Speaker 2: under 16 and lewd conduct with a minor under 16,
- 4:22Speaker 2: carrying possible life in prison. He posted a $ 75, 000 bond
- 4:27Speaker 2: that day and court records were placed under seal. On
- 4:30Speaker 2: September 15, the rape charge was amended under seal to
- 4:34Speaker 2: Battery with intent to commit a serious felony. Under a
- 4:38Speaker 2: plea agreement, Zogg pleaded guilty to Battery and the lewd
- 4:41Speaker 2: conduct charge was dropped. At sentencing this week, the court
- 4:45Speaker 2: heard statements from the victim and her family detailing the
- 4:48Speaker 2: lasting impact. The girl's sister addressed Zogg directly, calling his
- 4:53Speaker 2: actions a deliberate and evil act to feel powerful, noting
- 4:57Speaker 2: the 15-year-old had been vulnerable and looking for a friend
- 5:01Speaker 2: following their grandfather's death. The victim's father revealed his daughter
- 5:05Speaker 2: developed an eating disorder, while her mother told the court
- 5:08Speaker 2: that supporters of the defendant continued to harass the teenager,
- 5:12Speaker 2: recounting the brutal attack that left physical marks and bruises.
- 5:17Speaker 2: The victim described living in fear, sleeping on the couch
- 5:20Speaker 2: to stay close to family, taking medication to prevent panic attacks,
- 5:24Speaker 2: and enduring public mockery online. Prosecutors asked for a fixed
- 5:29Speaker 2: four-year prison term, followed by 16 years indeterminate. Zogg admitted
- 5:34Speaker 2: lying to police and claimed he acted impulsively out of loneliness.
- 5:38Speaker 2: District Judge Michael White sentenced Zogg to a one-year rider
- 5:43Speaker 2: program for treatment and counseling, after which he could be
- 5:46Speaker 2: released on probation without serving general prison time. Zogg must
- 5:51Speaker 2: also register as a sex offender and maintain no contact
- 5:54Speaker 2: with the victim. For more crime and justice news, be
