Dog the Bounty Hunter's stepson bragged about using rifles with son four years before accidentally shooting him to death
Dog the Bounty Hunter star Duane Chapman 's stepson Gregory Zecca is a passionate gun enthusiast, which he passed down to his teenage son Anthony Zecca before his tragic shooting death. Little Anthony was only nine years old when the 38-year-old bounty hunter taught him how to use a rifle at Franktown Firearms Shooting Center in Franktown, CO back in 2021. 'Getting some range time in with our buddies @franktownfirearms,' Gregory boasted in his since-disabled Instagram account. Zecca accidentally shot and killed his 13-year-old son in their apartment in Naples, FL on Saturday, according to TMZ. Local law enforcement confirmed to the outlet that they 'responded to a call about the shooting around 8 p.m. ET' but they're calling it an 'isolated incident' and no arrests have been made. Duane's sixth wife Francie Chapman welcomed Gregory during a prior marriage, and Anthony's mother is Alexandria Lane. The 72-year-old reality star and the 56-year-old Bounty Wear owner addressed the terrible loss in a statement: 'We are grieving as a family over this incomprehensible tragic accident and would ask for continued prayers as we grieve the loss of our beloved grandson, Anthony.' One year ago, little Anthony spent the summer with his grandparents and told a story about how he felt the wind of the Holy Spirit while visiting his 'Meemaw' in the hospital ER in 2023 after she injured her ankle. Anthony and Duane sat on a bench in the waiting room when he suddenly felt a gush of cold wind blowing in from outside even though it was a warm, rainy day. 'When we're walking to her room I feel the wind again but from a different direction. When it first came, it hit me [on my chest]. But when it came again, it hit me from the back,' the Christian child marveled. 'And I'm wondering what is this? Because the doors didn't open this time, so why am I getting hit by wind? [It was] the Holy Spirit. And I asked Meemaw and she said, "It was the Holy Spirit."' Francie had been feeling miserable but 'after X-rays and after we prayed, we go back into the room and she's just fine. She said, "This don't even hurt anymore." And it turned out to not be broken.' Aside from artillery and Jesus, little Anthony also enjoyed dancing to Usher and Diana Ross, he loved Busch Gardens theme park, and once excitedly met Predator at Duke City Comic Con. The Chapmans - who began dating in 2020 - first bonded over their shared grief about being widowed. Duane suffered the loss of his fifth wife Beth Smith in 2019 to stage II throat cancer and Francie suffered the loss of her husband Bob Frane in 2018. One year ago, little Anthony spent the summer with his grandparents and told a story about how he felt the wind of the Holy Spirit while visiting his 'Meemaw' in the hospital ER in 2023 after she injured her ankle (pictured in 2024) 'We understood the pain that the other one was feeling, and [in] those tough days and moments, we helped each other stand up,' she told ET in 2020. 'We could cry with each other and talk about what we were feeling. We were able to walk alongside each other through the pain and heartbreak, and it brought us together in this amazing way.' The mourning couple will celebrate their fourth wedding anniversary on September 2. On November 15, the Chapmans will host their 3rd Annual F.U.S.E. Restored Gala in Cape Coral, FL.

My dad was bludgeoned to death in bed in mystery random attack as I slept feet away – his killer was never caught
LIKE many little girls, Emma Childerley had a fear of things that go bump in the night. However, it wasn't the bogeyman she was terrified of, but a real-life monster who had bludgeoned her parents in the room next door when she was just five - and never been caught. 9 9 9 Her father Kevin, aged 30, died at the scene in Nottinghamshire in February 1990, while her mother Denise, then 32, was horrifically injured in what is thought to be an attack with an axe or a cleaver. Incredibly, she survived but has been left with life-changing injuries. With the killer still on the loose, Emma, 40, is now appealing for someone to come forward with information that will lead to the justice her family needs. It comes as cops confirmed they had arrested a woman in connection with the case and stepped up their investigation. Mum of three, Emma, now living in Blackburn, Lancashire, says: 'I was a daddy's girl. We were so close, and his murder tore our family apart. Robbed of memories 'We were robbed of a lifetime of memories, and instead I had a childhood filled with pain and fear. I missed him so much. 'Because Dad's killer was never caught, I became terrified that the murderer was hiding in my built-in bedroom wardrobes, or in the garage outside. 'Mum was so badly injured that I didn't even recognise her when she came out of hospital. 'Those months afterwards were hard, and though we've moved on with our lives, the pain never goes away. I think of my Dad every day. 'I need justice and closure, for Dad and for me.' Before the horrific events of that night, Emma says she and her father were 'best friends'. She says: 'I remember watching Top of the Pops with him, singing along to Madonna's 'True Blue'. 'He was a miner; he worked hard for his family. He was a joker too; we'd play tricks on my mum and make her laugh. 'Dad took me to school on his motorbike each morning. We both wore helmets, but he'd keep his on as he walked through the playground, so all my friends thought he was an astronaut, which I loved. Happy normal family 'We were just a normal, happy family.' The attack took place on what seemed to be a regular evening, on which Emma's parents had gone out to a nearby social club while a babysitter had stayed with Emma and her five-month-old baby brother. Her parents had come home and gone to bed before the attack took place and hearing the comotion, neighbours called the police. 9 9 9 She says: 'I was woken in the night by a police officer telling me to get dressed, and not to switch on the light or open the bedroom door until he told me to. 'I did as he said, without questioning. 'I was taken to a neighbour's overnight. The next morning, I went to a police station for my fingerprints and hair samples to be taken, and later I was placed in a foster home. 'A social worker told me Mum had broken both her legs and Dad was looking after her so I couldn't go back home. 'I was only five years old, and I accepted that. But I hated being in the foster home. I was away from my family, and I missed them so much.' It was several weeks before a social worker informed Emma that her father was dead and her mother was in hospital. She says: 'I locked myself in the bathroom and sobbed. I couldn't take it in.' Eventually Emma was then told her mother was out of hospital and coming to take her home. She says: 'I was over the moon at first but the woman who arrived had a shaved head, an eye patch and scarring all across her face. 'I screamed; I didn't recognise my own mother, she was so badly hurt. It wasn't until she spoke that I realised who she was.' The family moved house to try to escape the memories and rarely spoke of their trauma. Family secrets Emma says: 'Nobody even told me dad had been murdered. 'I didn't want to ask Mum any details because I didn't want to upset her - she didn't remember much and didn't want to talk about it. I refused to go to Dad's funeral because I was in denial. 'I found a newspaper photo of a woman on life support, and I remember saying how poorly she looked. I didn't realise then it was a picture of my own mother. 'I was too young to be able to read the article.' Who are the UK's worst serial killers? THE UK's most prolific serial killer was actually a doctor. Here's a rundown of the worst offenders in the UK. British GP Harold Shipman is one of the most prolific serial killers in recorded history. He was found guilty of murdering 15 patients in 2000, but the Shipman Inquiry examined his crimes and identified 218 victims, 80 per cent of whom were elderly women. After his death Jonathan Balls was accused of poisoning at least 22 people between 1824 and 1845. Mary Ann Cotton is suspected of murdering up to 21 people, including husbands, lovers and children. She is Britain's most prolific female serial killer. Her crimes were committed between 1852 and 1872, and she was hanged in March 1873. Amelia Sach and Annie Walters became known as the Finchley Baby Farmers after killing at least 20 babies between 1900 and 1902. The pair became the first women to be hanged at Holloway Prison on February 3, 1903. William Burke and William Hare killed 16 people and sold their bodies. Yorkshire Ripper Peter Sutcliffe was found guilty in 1981 of murdering 13 women and attempting to kill seven others between 1975 and 1980. Dennis Nilsen was caged for life in 1983 after murdering up to 15 men when he picked them up from the streets. He was found guilty of six counts of murder and two counts of attempted murder and was sentenced to life in jail. Fred West was found guilty of killing 12 but it's believed he was responsible for many more deaths. The family moved home again, hoping for a fresh start. But aged 11, Emma came across newspaper cuttings that explained her father had been brutally murdered in a savage attack, with the motive unknown. Two men had been arrested at the time but the case against them was discontinued. Haunted childhood Emma says: 'I was horrified, and frightened that the killer was still out there. 'I wouldn't even flush the loo at night in case I alerted the murderer. 'I'd slept through the attack on my parents, and I was worried I might sleep through my own murder too. I became very anxious and defensive. 'If someone stared at Mum's injuries, I'd get annoyed and confront them, even though I was only a child. I had so much pent-up anger and grief.' In 2022, Emma contacted the police and pleaded with them to review the case. While Nottinghamshire Police say the case was never closed Emma says he hadn't heard anything in years. Kevin's murder case is now active and Emma is appealing for information. Cops have also urged anyone with information to come forward. They confirmed in April a 62-year-old woman was arrested on suspicion of perverting the course of justice and bailed after interview. Dad's legacy Emma now runs KC funeral services in Darwen, Lancashire, named in memory of her father. She says: 'I always regretted not going to dad's funeral and I decided I wanted to give dignity to people in death. 'I named my firm after him because this is his legacy. He lives on through me, and my three children, who I know he'd be so proud of. 'It breaks my heart that they never met him. He'd have been a wonderful grandfather. "The pain from the murder carries on, through the generations. I'd like people to think about that and, if they have information, please speak to the police. 'There will be no punishment for having waited so long, we will just be so grateful for any help you can give.' Detective Chief Inspector Ruby Burrow, of Nottinghamshire Police, said: 'This was a savage attack which took the life of a much-loved father and left his wife with lifelong injuries. 'Throughout our investigations we have been determined to get justice for both victims in this case, as well as for their two children and the grandchildren who never got to meet their grandad. 'Kevin was a much-loved family man described as a 'joker' with a great sense of humour by those who knew him. 'The attack tore apart the family and robbed Kevin's children of a lifetime of memories. 'The case has never been closed, and a dedicated team of detectives has been reinvestigating what happened that night using the latest investigative tools and technology. 'Following recent developments we have visited the neighbourhood to engage with a number of people we believe could help with our inquiries. 'It was a very positive exercise and I'd like to thank people for their cooperation. 'The arrest is also an important development and we have shared the news with Denise and other family members. 'We know the answer to Kevin's murder lies within the community and we also believe allegiances and loyalties will have changed after the passing of more than three decades. 'I'd continue to encourage anyone with any information, no matter how small, to please continue to get in touch with our officers or anonymously through Crimestoppers.'

Trump calls out high-profile senator who's in 'BIG TROUBLE' for plotting an 'American tragedy' - and demands he be locked up
Donald Trump has demanded a high profile Democrat be sent to prison in the latest escalation in their long-running feud. California Senator Adam Schiff is at the center of a Justice Department investigation for a 'sustained pattern of possible mortgage fraud' involving misrepresenting which home he used as his primary residence, Trump said. 'Adam 'Shifty' Schiff is in BIG TROUBLE,' Trump said in a Truth Social post on Sunday night. 'He falsified loan documents.' Trump also went on to slam Schiff for orchestrating an 'American Tragedy' by investigating his son Donald Trump Jr.'s phone records in 2019 amid concerns about the origin of a meeting with Russians held in Trump Tower three years prior. 'He once said my son would go to prison on a SCAM that Schiff, along with other Crooked Dems, illegally 'manufactured' in order to stage an actual coup,' Trump wrote. 'My son did nothing wrong, knew nothing about the fictional story. It was an American Tragedy! 'Now Shifty should pay the price of prison for a real crime, not one made up by the corrupt accusers!' Schiff had threatened to subpoena Don Jr. to glean new details about two phone calls he made to blocked numbers after meeting with a Russian lawyer. At the time, Trump was under investigation for potentially colluding with the Kremlin. He also led the charge to impeach Trump in his role as chair of the House Intelligence Committee. Trump's latest round of attacks on Schiff are yet another example of the president seeking out anyone who has crossed him over the years. This includes New York Attorney General Letitia James who has found herself at the center of a DOJ investigation into her real estate transactions after bringing multiple cases against Trump. James has launched lawsuits against the president during both terms, including for alleged fraud. Since January 20 she has filed at least 15 actions. The Post reports that subpoenas were issued in Virginia concerning a mortgage application in which she affirmed that she intended to make a Norfolk home her primary residence. The outlet said it obtained records which showed the AG's signature granting a power of attorney to her niece to execute the purchase. 'This investigation into me is nothing more than retribution. It's baseless,' James said of the probe. Barbara McQuade, a former U.S. attorney for the Eastern District of Michigan told the publication it was 'awfully coincidental' that Trump's critics have been subjected to home loan investigations. 'You don't get a free pass because you're a public official,' McQuade said. 'But I think they've really undermined the credibility of the department by staking out this ground seeking retribution against Trump's enemies.' Trump said he wanted to see Schiff 'brought to justice' through the investigation into his finances. But Schiff maintained his innocence and argued he was being persecuted by the Trump administration as political retribution for his involvement in opposing the family over the years. 'This is just Donald Trump's latest attempt at political retaliation against his perceived enemies,' Schiff wrote on X. 'So it is not a surprise, only how weak this false allegation turns out to be.' A spokesperson for his office insisted the lenders for both of his homes - one in Washington and another in California - were aware that he intended to use both year-round while serving in public office. He maintained neither home is considered a 'vacation' property. Appointing one home as a primary residence can allow a borrower to secure lower rates, because it is considered a less risky investment. Schiff took aim at the president during an appearance on Stephen Colbert's show telling him to 'p**s off '. 'But before you p**s off, would you release the Epstein files?' Schiff asked, to rapturous applause. It is unclear how Trump became aware of Schiff's mortgages, or what involvement he has played in the investigation so far. According to The Washington Post, a confidential memo within Fannie Mae, the lender responsible for the questionable loans, said an investigation has been ongoing amid concerns Schiff 'engaged in a sustained pattern of possible occupancy misrepresentation on 5 Fannie Mae loans'. The internal memo states the company's financial crimes team received a document demand from the Federal Housing Finance Agency on May 12 relating to loan files. It states that a condo in Burbank, California, has at times been listed as a 'primary residence' before adding, 'however the 691 square foot, 1-bedroom unit appears unsuitable for a family of four, raising doubts about their true occupancy intent.' Each of the loans involved have since been paid off in full.
