Peeping Creeper Spies on His Airbnb Guests, Accused of Keeping Thousands of Child Porn Images | Crime Alert 2PM 03.26.26

Crime alert, hourly update, breaking crime news now.

I'm Drew Nelson.

A California man is under arrest as investigators say he is a peeping creeper.

Recording guests at his vacation rental, keeping thousands of illegal files involving children.

The case is out of oakhurst in Madera County.

Detectives served a search warrant at a home on granite butte way after getting a tip

from the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children.

That tip pointed to suspected distribution activity.

Officers identified 44 year old Christian Parmaly Edwards as the suspect.

Inside the home, detectives say they found more than 4,000 digital files containing child

sexual abuse material.

They say Edwards had been renting out the home as a short term vacation property since

2023.

Madera County Sheriff's Office spokesperson Kate Wartman tells WLS the recordings were

not made with hidden cameras.

What detectives have found so far was that he was actually on site recording through

cracks in the blinds in the little private areas.

Wartman describes what detectives found once they got a warrant.

When they seized his devices at the home, they began uncovering videos of children and

women being filmed in places where they should have had their privacy.

Investigators say Edwards was arrested and booked into the Madera County jail.

He's facing multiple felony charges, tied to possession and distribution of child sexual

abuse material.

Additional charges including invasion of privacy are still under review as detectives

continue examining the evidence.

Neighbors telling WLS the allegations have left them shaken and concerned about how close

they may have come to becoming victims themselves.

He'd even offered for me to even move in over there at one point and pay him rent.

I'm sure he did have plans for my friends and her kids.

Authorities are now asking anyone who may have stayed at that home between 2003 through

this month to contact the sheriff's office.

They believe more victims may still need to be identified.

A transgender defendant in New York pleads guilty to a sex crime involving a teenage boy and

is expected to be released into ice custody and deported.

This case is out of East Harlem in New York City.

Nicole Alexandra Contreras Suarez is 31.

Prosecutors say the defendant followed a 14 year old boy into a bodega near Thomas Jefferson

Park on February 11th of last year and sexually assaulted him.

The teenager flagged down bystanders right after the attack.

Police arrested the suspect the next day.

Contreras Suarez was originally charged with more serious counts, including first degree

rape of a child and stalking.

In court, the defendant pleaded guilty to second degree rape.

A Manhattan Supreme Court judge indicated a six month sentence because that time has already

been served well in custody.

The defendant is expected to be released from New York custody on April 27th.

The Manhattan District Attorney's Office says the agreement was reached with the victim's

family.

The goal was to spare the teenager from having to testify in a grand jury and trial.

A spokesperson for the office says they expect the defendant to remain detained and be

deported following sentencing because of the felony conviction.

Authorities say federal immigration officials had already placed a detainer on the case.

Records show Contreras Suarez entered the United States in 2023 after being taken into custody

at the border in California.

Officials also say the defendant had prior charges in Massachusetts at the time of the New

York arrest.

Rosemary Bly was 21 when she vanished August 21st of 2009 from St. Croix Falls, Washington.

That evening around 730, she left her home along River Road, telling family she was

heading just a few miles to Cushing to meet a cousin.

She said she would be home by midnight.

Days later, her car was found abandoned in Grantsburg.

It was parked in a lot commonly used by semi truck drivers about 30 miles from where she

started.

The keys were gone.

There were no clear signs of a struggle.

According to the FBI's violent criminal apprehension program, ViCap, the case quickly drew

attention because of the unusual circumstances.

A short trip, a missing woman, a vehicle left in a truck lot miles away.

Rose left behind a husband and two very young daughters.

Her marriage had been troubled.

Police had responded to at least one domestic incident.

Both she and her husband accused each other of violence.

He later passed a polygraph and has not been named a suspect.

About a week before she disappeared, Rose fell off a horse.

She told her mother she had been dealing with headaches.

Her mother later wondered if that injury could have left her disoriented.

Investigators have never confirmed that theory.

Search efforts in the days after her disappearance were intense.

According to the Burnett County Sentinel, even a nearby lake was drained in an effort

to rule out the possibility that she had ended up in the water.

Nothing was found.

Years have passed with no confirmed sightings, no activity on her accounts, and no contact

with family.

Today, Rose would be 38.

She's white, five feet, 110 pounds, brown hair, brown eyes.

She has a tattoo of two red cherries on her right ankle.

Her ears and navel are pierced.

She was last seen wearing a white tank top, a green sweater, blue jeans, and flipplops.

Anyone with information deserves to contact the Polk County Sheriff's Office at 715-485-8300.
