Child Killer on the Run is Busted with an Open Container on the Beach | Crime Alert 4PM 03.26.26

Crime alert, hourly update, breaking crime news now.

I'm Junelsen.

A man convicted in the death of his infant son is arrested on a Florida beach during

spring break after deputies discover he is wanted out of Ohio.

It happened Saturday in Daytona Beach as deputies patrol large crowds.

They approached a group over an open container and started talking with a man later identified

as 44-year-old Anthony Grove.

He told them he had children and that one had died, but investigators say he left out

what had happened.

As deputies checked his name, they realized who they were dealing with.

Yeah, this is what we said.

The little things matter.

You enforce the small public nuisance crimes.

And here we are.

We find the guy that's sitting up on the seawall drinking booze.

He's worn out of Ohio plays a real cool with us.

And then he tells us as we're cuffing him up that it's from an incident where he killed his child.

That's Felicia County Sheriff's Chief Deputy Brian Henderson.

Here's body cam from that encounter as deputies move in and take him into custody on the sand.

Investigators say Grove had pleaded guilty in 2015 to involuntary manslaughter after throwing

a ceramic coffee mug during an argument striking his two-month-old son in the head.

The baby died the next day.

Grove served time and was released in 2023, but authorities say he later violated parole.

And was wondered when deputies found him on that beach.

He now faces charges in Florida, including failure to properly register as a convicted

felon and possession of cannabis, while officials work to return him to Ohio.

This is the kind of people we don't need on our beach.

We don't need in our community and I'm glad that we can get him off the sand.

An Indiana woman is charged with murder after police say she drove into Illinois

and shot the father of her children and his parents inside their home.

This happened early Monday morning in unincorporated creed township in Will County.

Deputies were called around 2am for a welfare check at a home on East Norway trail.

When they arrived, they found three people dead.

32-year-old Jacob Lambert and his parents 54-year-old Stacey Ford and 55-year-old Patrick Ford.

Investigators say all three lived at that home.

Lambert was found in a car in the driveway.

His parents were found inside the house near the front door.

Authorities say 30-year-old Jenna Strubel from St. John, Indiana is responsible.

They say she had an on-and-off relationship with Lambert and they shared children.

Investigators say she drove about eight miles across state lines from Indiana to the Illinois

home, carried out the shootings, then left the scene and returned to Indiana.

Police later found her at home in St. John and took her into custody.

Detectives say Strubel made incriminating statements during interviews.

A firearm was recovered and investigators say it matches the weapon used in the killings.

Authorities have not released a motive.

Strubel is now being held in the Lake County Jail in Indiana.

She's facing multiple counts of first-degree murder and is expected to be

extra-dited to Illinois to face those charges.

Kayla Berg was 15 when she disappeared on August 11, 2009,

after leaving her father's home in Antigo, Washington.

That night, she told her family she was going out to see some friends.

It was just weeks before her 16th birthday.

She never came back.

Kayla was last seen with an older friend who drove her around in the area.

The two stopped at McDonald's in Antigo around 9.30 p.m.

where she spoke with a friend working there.

She said she would call later, but that call never came.

The man later told investigators he dropped Kayla off in Warsaw at the home of her ex-boyfriend

about 40 minutes away.

He said he did not watch her go inside and said the house appeared to be dark.

Investigators do not believe that.

The home was vacant.

Her ex-boyfriend had already moved out and Kayla knew that.

She had been to his new place just days earlier.

There was no proof that she ever was dropped off in Warsaw.

No witnesses, no phone records, nothing.

Her parents, who were separated,

each thought she was staying with the other.

It took six days before a missing person's report was filed.

At first, police thought she may have run away.

NBC News reported that her family pushed her case to be

reclassified as endangered within 48 hours.

Investigators now say there is no sign she left on her own.

In October 2009, the man last known to be with her

was charged in a separate case tied to drug use that night,

but that charge was later dismissed.

He has not been charged in her disappearance.

Kayla's case has never gone cold.

If alive today, she would be 32.

She's white, five, two, one hundred eight pounds at the time she disappeared.

She has brown hair and brown eyes, scars on her right cheek,

right shin, and the sight of her nose.

Her ears are double pierced and her navel is pierced.

She also has abdominal scars from surgery.

She was a last scene wearing a red spaghetti strap top,

a dark blue hoodie, blue jeans, tan, low heeled sandals,

and a silver-ringed necklace.
